What the hybrid
workplace means
for your campus

New ways of working require colleges and universities to rethink their real estate portfolios

Colleges and universities are welcoming employees back to campus as conditions allow, but not in the same numbers as before the pandemic. Over the last year, many administrative employees have proven they can perform at least some tasks effectively at home, causing higher education real estate and facility leaders to think differently about their campus real estate portfolios.

It’s not just about reducing space or assessing portfolios based solely on cost per person or per square foot. Instead, they need to consider how the built environment adds value and invest in the footprint that best supports how administrative work will be done.

This guide will highlight those considerations, including:

  • Why a people-centric real estate strategy is key
  • Why the workplace will benefit from a refresh
  • Why updating administrative space is a worthwhile investment
  • Why collaboration between leadership is crucial to success

When building a real estate portfolio for how work will happen in the future, institutions need to start by deciding what they need to support a hybrid workplace model and translate that into objectives that frame their administrative space needs. Having a space that’s the right fit enhances productivity, attracts diverse and inclusive talent, and builds campus resiliency. Get started by downloading our guide, today.
