Resourceful space promotes wise use of assets now and into the future.
Resourceful means doing the most with what you have. Enriching the experiences and opportunities of students and faculty with a tight budget calls for resourceful planning. It is no small challenge to balance fiscal, functional, and educational needs.
But there are ways to plan and allocate resources wisely and with an eye to the future. Flexibility in spaces and furnishings adds long-term value, as environments can adapt without having to change the architecture. Purposeful design allows for future changes in infrastructure and technology without requiring significant renovation. Standards programs can simplify management of multiple facilities among several campuses. And electronic procurement can help streamline planning and specification.
