Colleges and Universities — Events



Colleges and universities are actually office buildings, restaurants, retail shops, multi-family dwellings, sports facilities, entertainment complexes, and schools rolled into one. Today, these mini-cities face severe budgetary challenges as they strive to operate, update, and replace aging, inefficient buildings. Enrollment is rising along with energy costs and student demand for energy-intensive amenities like air conditioning, high-speed Internet connections, and voice mail.
