How has the pandemic changed college and university facility planning? The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed college and university facility planning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a staggering impact across the globe. Life has been disrupted as hundreds of thousands battle the disease and millions more do their part to flatten the curve.
