Education continues to evolve and transform with technological progress. How schools, colleges and universities respond to these changes will be crucial to determining their success in attracting students and funding in the face of ever-increasing competition.
Real estate is the third largest expense for most educational institutions, and more and more are recognising the essential role that their real estate can play in their long-term success. A number of global trends will define the look and feel of future education establishments: the quality of the internal physical environment in relation to occupants’ health and well-being; innovative design and adaptable spaces that can accommodate changing needs; the quality of the experience expected by occupants; and a range of hybrid styles of learning that account for technology and the impact of digitisation, as well as the commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by implementing a tangible sustainability strategy.
