American School and University, Cook, 2015
Schools and universities across the nation are experiencing an acute need for renovation and alteration to their facilities and grounds. Five trends are affecting education institutions’ construction calendars:
- Increasing enrollment
- Aging facilities
- Modernization
- Security upgrades
- Sustainability efforts
These five trends are the critical causes behind most planned school and university renovations today. One component that each of these trends has in common is the need to plan, procure and complete the project quickly and within the school’s scheduling needs. The Job Order Contracting (JOC) construction procurement method allows schools and universities of all sizes to purchase and expedite their repair, renovation and alteration projects, so more work can be accomplished in a timeframe that does not disrupt students or staff.
