Capital project decision making has never been so complex, and new analytical methodologies are required to reconcile institutional mission priorities with the needs of multiple stakeholder groups, existing conditions, space utilization targets, and budget limitations. Presenters examine newly-refined processes for extracting actionable insights and opportunities from available data sets and communicating efficiently to support optimal facility investment decisions – build, renovate, or repurpose. They deliver space-based cost metrics for the wide diversity of space types emerging in response to increasingly team-based and interdisciplinary learning and discovery activities associated with fast-moving technology, science, and engineering initiatives.
