Best Practices for Selecting Design and Construction Teams
September 25, 2024
2:10 PM – 3:10 PM CT
Room: Frisco 3
All higher education systems in Texas have a process for hiring design and construction teams that follows a similar format. However, some institutions have taken different paths from the standard template and improved upon the process. The goal of this session is for three institutions who have diverged from the standard path to share their process and best practices.
