2014 College Construction Report
Abramson, Paul
College Planning & Management
This is the 19th annual report on college construction published by "College Planning & Management" magazine. To prepare this report and the accompanying tables, "College Planning & Management" received information on college and university construction completed and underway during 2013, and planned to start or end in 2014 from Market Data Retrieval (MDR). MDR contacts two-year and four-year colleges and universities, public and private, throughout the United States seeking information on their construction plans -- new buildings, additions to existing buildings and major renovation, retrofit or modernization projects. (The three terms are used interchangeably throughout this report.) That project information is then taken and used to estimate construction on a national and regional basis, and to report on how dollars are being allocated to new buildings, including those dedicated to classrooms, to student services, to science, etc. All of the figures published are "annual in nature" because they compile information on what was completed or expected to be completed or started in a given calendar year. To better understand and estimate how and where construction is taking place, the nation was divided into 12 regions; a list of those regions is contained in the article. At the present time colleges are involved in about $35 billion worth of construction, an interesting measure of the impact of college construction on the nation's economy.
