Summer School is in Session: Insights from Charleston's Higher Education Leaders
Advertisement
Prepared to be schooled by Charleston's higher education leaders this month! 🖍️
This month, the SMPS Palmetto crew invites you to join us as we host "Summer School is in Session: Insights from Charleston's Higher Education Leaders". This program will bring together higher education leaders to discuss how campuses are evolving with a forward-looking focus on what excites them most about campus development today.
Panelists will share where they see the greatest opportunities across planning, facilities, and capital investment, and how institutions are prioritizing projects that support long-term academic and operational goals.
The conversation will also explore what higher education leaders value most when selecting design consultants, including the qualities, expertise, and approaches that lead to successful project partnerships.
Attendees will also gain practical insight into both the future direction of campus development, and the decision-making criteria institutions use when forming design and planning teams.
