Higher education strategies for recruiting and retaining students and staff
August 14, 2025
Léo Lejeune tells Building Design + Construction about the importance of housing options as students consider which college to attend
Today’s universities are becoming sustainable, personalized, and more flexible than ever. From emerging programs related to AI and eSports to a push for diverse student housing, there are multiple strategies in place to recruit students and staff.
Off-campus housing remains a viable recruitment tool for students as well. This is where firms like Stantec see the post-Covid generation of students desire alternative ways of living. Not everyone is particularly excited about living in traditional dormitories.
