Introducing The Quad – A New Hub for Campus Innovation

This interactive space will showcase four powerhouse firms shaping the future of higher education infrastructure, each anchoring a dedicated “office” that invites attendees to explore strategies, ask big-picture questions, and engage in candid conversations around planning, delivery, financing, and operations.
