They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

Construction Spend
We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month. We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.
N.B. We have migrated our “Model Building Code” content into to this session starting this month.

Who is the "User-Interest"?
Who it is. Why it matters.
The Standards Michigan platform routinely refers to the “User-Interest” in the global standards system and the dominance of “niche verticals” that determine the cost of education communities for the final fiduciary. Today at 11 AM/ET we drill deeper into this claim by reviewing the roster of a few technical committees administered by standards setting organizations. The dominance of every interest group over the user-interest will be in plain sight. You will also see that the dominance of all other stakeholders over the user-interest is not the fault of the niche verticals. It is the fault of the user-interest and may be an unresolvable “wicked problem”.

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
