Campus Housing for Tomorrow

How to plan for student and institutional success

Student housing has undergone substantial shifts in recent years that have upended assumptions: Inflation and the high cost of building have slowed decades of new-dorm construction, as have drops in enrollment. Colleges with fewer students or resources are turning to renovations instead of new beds. And many institutions are rediscovering the value — for budgets and students alike — of old-fashioned double-occupancy rooms and shared spaces.
