Mushroom Coffee
Mushroom coffee, a blend of coffee and medicinal mushroom extracts like lion’s mane and chaga, has gained traction on college campuses due to its perceived health benefits and social media buzz. Students, often seeking alternatives to high-caffeine drinks, are drawn to its lower caffeine content—about 40-60 mg per cup compared to 95 mg in regular coffee—reducing jitters while maintaining focus.

Occupancy Classification and Use
In educational settings occupancy classifications protect vulnerable populations (especially children) who may lack the awareness or ability to respond quickly in emergencies. Proper classification ensures adequate exits, fire-resistant materials, and ventilation suited for classrooms or assembly areas. These classifications also impact zoning and insurance. Join us today at the usual hour when we drill into time-sensitive specifics.
Quadrivium: Autumn
Educational settlements are where people come to feel at home in beautiful surroundings. The catalog that informs the safety and sustainability of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day. Titles are unstable, time-sensitive, copyright protected and land (sometimes invisibly) in public law. We explore the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Daily colloquia topics appear on our CALENDAR. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Off-Site Construction
Temporary classroom buildings have been a solution to dramatic swings in student enrollment for decades. Off-site construction using 3-D printing technology gathers pace and can contribute to our goal of making education facilities safer, simpler, lower-lost and longer lasting if aesthetic issues are resolved.
Current Issues and Recent Research
We examine the proposals for the 2028 National Electrical Safety Code; including our own. The 2026 National Electrical Code which has recently been released for public use (public input on the 2029 revision will be received until April 9, 2026). We have one electrical proposal on the agenda of the International Code Council's Committee Action Hearings in Cleveland October 22-30. We begin coverage of satellite-based internet service to community colleges.
