Passion. That's the first word that comes to mind after a week of meeting dedicated professionals working to make Higher Education better for the future.

In recent years, how students learn and interact has undergone a significant transformation, leading to a shift in how colleges and universities approach their learning spaces. With a growing need for flexible, reconfigurable, and technology-enabled classrooms, institutions are now reimagining their existing spaces to meet the evolving needs of students and educators.

Making strategic decisions that transform your institution in a way that enhances student experience, increases enrollment, and improves ROI is no easy task.

University students spend 20 to 30 hours a week in classrooms and labs. At Intellis, we know that educational institutions want to match their students' dedication with a commitment to ensuring their atmosphere is healthy, safe, stimulating, and prepared to meet the individual needs of all higher education students.

Recent studies have shown that space growth is outpacing enrollment growth in higher education. The goal is to grow enrollment and increase space at about the same rate. However, since 2012, space growth has continued to rise while enrollment growth has remained flat. This blog discusses how to improve strategic planning in managing higher education facilities.

Technology is transforming the way we learn and teach, and the facilities management industry is no exception. In recent years, higher education facilities professionals have been grappling with limited budgets and the need to do more with less. To address these challenges, the industry has been turning to technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs. In this blog, we will explore three key tech trends that are revolutionizing the education facilities management industry. So, buckle up and get ready to discover the latest innovations that are reshaping this vital sector.

Providing students with a learning environment that enables them to maximize their potential is at the heart of what you do. However, the challenges for higher education facilities are mounting. College and university buildings are, on average, 42 years old and at a troubling D+ for infrastructure; according to America’s Infrastructure Report Card, deferred maintenance and dollars for capital renewals are growing larger every day. So, what can facilities leaders do?

After a great weekend in DC at this year's APPA conference, we're excited and inspired by the dedication and achievements of many educational facility leaders. This article discusses Solutions for Higher Education and critical takeaways from the event.

Last week, our leadership team was welcomed to the National Association of College and University Business Officers Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California. The NACUBO Annual Meeting is the education industry’s largest and best-attended event for college and university business officers and provided a great opportunity for the Intellis team to share ideas with higher education leaders.
