The Changing Face of Higher Education

Real Estate Trends in Higher Education Greater Washington is home to a wide range of first-class higher educational institutions, which impact our economy and provide services to the region's highly educated workforce and their employers.  These colleges and universities are continually evolving to respond to the ever changing needs of their students and our community.  On May 22, we will hear from a group of panelists, who represent different segments of Higher Education, about how their schools' programming drives their real estate strategy, and if the regional real estate market supports or challenges their programming. As our panelists discuss changing educational delivery models and contexts, topics will include: Land use, property acquisition and location drivers. Owned space versus leased space. The importance of campus environments. The differences in real estate strategy for public and private institutions. The impact of non-traditional education delivery on real estate needs.   SPEAKERS  Paula Harper, Executive Director of Program Development and Management The George Washington University Virginia Science & Technology Campus    Dana Kauffman, Director, Government Affairs and Community Relations Northern Virginia Community College Robin Morey, Vice President, Planning and Facilities Management    Georgetown University Cathy Wolfe, Director of Campus Planning in Facilities  George Mason University MODERATOR Anthony Lucarelli, AIA, Principal/Partner Grimm + Parker Architects DATE and TIME Thursday, May 22, 2014 Registration and Networking: 11:30 a.m. Lunch and Program: Noon LOCATION Fairview Park Marriott 3111 Fairview Park Drive Falls Church, Virginia  COST Individual Registration $70 member/member company $90 non-member        Chapter Sponsors Akridge - Avison Young - Baker Tilly - Balfour Beatty Construction - Bank of Georgetown - BECO Management Bohler Engineering - Bond Beebe, Accountants & Advisors - Boston Properties, Inc. - Bowman Consulting Brandywine Realty Trust - Brookfield Office Properties - Buchanan Partners, LLC - Burgess & Niple, Inc.
