Since the outbreak of COVID-19, our education team has created numerous resources to help education institutions prepare for the unprecedented year ahead, including:
- The creation of Back to Campus and Back to School digital resources full of ideas and recommendations that can guide academic and facility leaders
- The launch of Capacity Dashboards to help any institution understand the best capacity targets for their overall building and specific spaces throughout
- Partnering with ASHRAE to define strategic engineering guidelines and checklists schools can follow to prepare their facilities’ engineering systems for 2020-2021
- Sharing our ideas publicly from national outlets like NPR to regional media including NBC Dallas, NBC Boston the St. Louis Business Journal and more.
- Hosted virtual forums on Back to Campus and Back to School across the country
