Right-Sizing for the Future: Always a Complicated Calculus, Ensuring the Facilities Meet Today's and Tomorrow's Needs Has an Additional Variable Given the Impacts of COVID-19
Finkel, Ed
Community College Journal, v91 n1 p16-23 Aug-Sep 2020
Capital investment on community college campuses had grown increasingly tricky to calculate correctly even before the coronavirus pandemic, as enrollment fluctuated, more students took online courses and employer needs continuously changed. To date, COVID-19 hasn't radically altered anyone's planning. But with that added factor thrown into the equation, college leadership must continue to "right-size" their campuses. This means envisioning needs years in advance, ensuring that facilities are flexible enough for changing requirements, figuring out what to do with buildings they don't currently need, and keeping an ear to the ground to ensure they're keeping in tune with their stakeholders.
