Higher Education & Real Estate:
Developing and Managing Real Estate Assets in a Tough Economy
April 16 - 17, 2009
Sheraton Boston Hotel
Boston, MA
Conference Overview
In recent years, a number of factors have led higher education institutions to undertake new approaches to developing, owning, managing and financing both new and existing facilities. These factors include increased competition for research dollars as well as for the best students and faculty. With enrollment on the rise, colleges and universities know that they need to develop new facilities that give them an edge.
However, the tough economy is having an impact on the ability of many colleges and universities to move forward with the development of new projects such as housing for students and faculty, student centers and athletic and cultural facilities. With significant declines in endowment values and charitable gifts, many colleges and universities have less money available to spend on capital projects. In addition, the inability to secure debt financing has caused many colleges and universities to delay construction of certain planned projects.
This conference explores some options and strategies available to colleges and universities as they consider how to proceed with the development of new and innovative facilities that are needed to compete for the best students and faculty.
