In today's evolving higher education landscape, campus facility investments must serve multiple goals while competing with other institutional priorities for precious dollars.
Join Flad, Tufts University, and Salas O'Brien as they tackle this issue in a breakout session at the Tradeline University Facilities conference. In this case study, session leaders chart the multi-pronged path forward to optimize cost and value, enabling:
- Program growth to achieve the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine's 2030 Vision
- Facility renewal to improve space quality and utilization
- Highest-and-best-use of facility assets to reduce operational costs
- Near-term decarbonization commitments to be met
The presentation will illustrate a methodology for developing a total cost-of-ownership planning framework enabling institutions to do more with less, meet strategic goals for growth, modernize, and prepare for the future.
