Campus Constructs

<p>Public-funded higher education institutions function in an instersting manner! They often use flat committee-based structures instead of traditional pyramidal hierarchies. While this promotes inclusiveness and collective decision-making it sometimes brings in the vulnerabilities of delays and procedural inefficiencies when the institution embarks upon planning building and developing its infrastructure. The book is an attempt to share insights on the key aspects related to the campus infrastructure in such institutions which while working through egalitarian setups are striving for effectiveness and efficiency in the processes. The book will find audience in the faculty authorities as well as the professional executives of higher educational institution who are in the domain of infrastructure development. The different sections in the book despite being of mutually exclusive interest to the different groups of readers will help the individual segment of readers to peek through and connect across their functional silos with an enhanced synergy and coordination. Campus Constructs may also interest the authorities in the government strata who are mandated with the planning and funding of public education infrastructure. The book may provide them with pointers towards a more optimized resource allocation and an improved monitoring thereof.</p>
