Spaces4Learning recently launched its 2024 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey, an annual report on the previous year’s construction projects at K–12 and higher education institutions nationwide. The data gathered is essential to creating an accurate industry report that offers a snapshot of current trends in school facilities with minimal time commitment. The 2024 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey will be featured in the fall 2024 print issue of Spaces4Learning, as well as online.

The survey includes questions like:

  • Did you complete any construction projects in 2023?
  • Have you started or will you start any construction projects in 2024?
  • What type of space(s) will undergo construction or renovation at your institution in the coming year?
  • What is your opinion on the funds available for construction compared to last year?

The 2023 Facilities & Construction Brief is available here, and the 2022 edition here.

Then ten-question 2024 survey is available here.

Even though this offers educational benefits, these facilities have less downtime for building maintenance.

  • Q&A: How to Prevent Kitchen Grease Fires in Commercial Kitchens

    School cafeterias and university dining halls serve thousands of meals daily, relying on high-heat equipment like fryers, grills, and ovens. While these operations keep students fed, they also generate significant grease-laden vapors. Without proper controls, this grease becomes a silent fire threat. As a certified exhaust cleaning specialist and business coach who has helped hundreds of institutional facilities achieve NFPA 96 compliance, I emphasize that proactive grease management isn’t optional; it’s a core fire/life safety practice.
