In an age of diminishing endowment returns and reduced state and local spending, facilities administrators much not forsake the long view for the short view.  What are we learning in the present, and how will we take what we learn in these uncertain times to effectively prepare our institutions for the future?  How can the education facilities community invent – and plan – for the future of higher education?  What will our future look like?  Hear from an illustrious group of invited experts who will share their wisdom as we look into the crystal ball.
