It's no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic forced many industries to re-examine and re-imagine how to plan for the future. The pandemic has particularly impacted the higher education industry. Therefore, now is the time to take another look at how colleges and universities develop long-term capital plans.

Now more than ever, facilities leaders and industry partners need to collaborate and share ideas and best practices to remain adaptable for the successful future of higher education.
2. On-Campus Climate Resilience
For many years, higher education institutions were innovators in the LEED movement, building sustainability and the environment. Yet, climate change is one of the most significant concerns of our time, particularly for the college campus.
Read more about climate resilience, facility management, and capital planning.
Accordingly, it is vital to focus on adequately maintaining higher ed facilities. Infrastructure is critical, particularly as weather patterns change, making more extreme climate disasters the norm rather than the exception.
The health of the higher ed built environment is an environmental issue. Therefore, the well-being of our buildings and infrastructure directly impacts the well-being of students and the environment.
See our guide to how data visualization is changing architecture, engineering, and construction.
Designing and maintaining genuinely sustainable and resilient higher education campuses is essential to offset the potential damage caused by climate change.
3. The Smart Connected Campus
Higher education infrastructure and construction projects are increasingly using innovative digital technology to improve long-term facility management and capital planning.
Indeed it is often said that college campuses function like small cities. This makes them an ideal testing ground for IoT initiatives that benefit city and campus residents.

Smart city solutions are powered by solid networks, strategic Wi-Fi, data analytics, sensors, and other IoT devices. As a result, smart city solutions deliver unprecedented insights, efficiencies, and quality-of-life improvements to campus residents.
Projects address transportation, facilities, public safety, and wayfinding. These are all services essential to campus life. And at Intellis, we believe colleges can take this vision further, leveraging connected solutions to transform student success across all aspects of campus life.
