Education community construction may well be the closest we come to a $100+ billion perpetual motion machine. During today's session we spend a few minutes examining the latest monthly construction activity report which typically reveals the USA education "industry" as the first or second largest building construction market in the world. Upwards of 50 million square feet the University of Michigan has the largest measure of square footage of any campus in the world
Our aperiodic query into whether educational settlements are either under-used, over-built, under-built, or something else, and for what purpose.
All the work we do intervening in technical standards setting to make educational settlements safer, simpler, lower-cost and longer-lasting does not keep pace with the growth rate of the largest non-residential building construction market in the United States which is presently challenged by international demand; but perhaps not for long.
Educational settlements are the closest many 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 in public law. We explore the action continuously; assign priorities, then schedule a separate teleconference to formulate responses to public consultations. Daily colloquia topics appear on our CALENDAR.

This new facility, on the current Elbel Field site, between Hoover Avenue and Hill Street, will enable the university to respond to the increasing demand among students for affordable, on-campus housing on or near Central Campus and better meet the needs of our growing student body. It will also help ensure continued excellence in the overall undergraduate experience.
