Those following news surrounding the pandemic’s effect on higher education already know this shift is changing the operational and financial landscapes of many colleges and universities. But what does it mean for students? We wanted to know what it’s like being a participant in this learning shift, and what students really need and want moving forward. In that spirit, we invited four students from various universities to share their thoughts with us.TreanorHL is a national architecture, planning and design firm located in the United States.

TreanorHL Talks: Architecture, Planning & Design

The Impact of COVID-19 on Higher Education Learning

In the construction industry, the cost of a building is more complex than simply adding up the sum of its parts. From labor rates to equipment prices and indirect costs, there are many factors affecting construction budgets. While your cost estimation might appear accurate at first, it’s crucial to understand cost control options so that you can respond to the unexpected and stay on budget.To learn more, we caught up with Joe Stramberg, a principal in TreanorHL’s Student Life studio, and Blair Tennant, cost estimator for Vermeulens cost consulting. Joe and Blair have worked together on various higher education facilities on campuses across the United States, and have presented on this topic at several national conferences, including Tradeline, ACUHO-I and more. On this episode, they talk about cost drivers, case studies and tools you can use to keep your facility on budget—without sacrificing design integrity or programming.For a deeper dive into cost control, visit them at the 2020 SWACUHO conference February 23, or at the ACUHO-I conference this June 23. Can't make it?
