Campus based-education and Covid-19 – what next? with Womble Bond Dickinson
When - 22nd February 2021 - 2:30pm–4:30pm
Register Here
The pandemic has led to dramatic changes in the educational landscape, particularly with footfall around college and university facilities being severely restricted. This is bound to affect future development plans as town or city centre facilities may no longer be a priority. Learner expectations may have also changed, and it is unclear whether campus design will form such an integral part of a provider’s brand in the current climate.
To try and see more clearly, Capital Academy is bringing together a panel of experts who will comment on how relationships with learners have evolved and consider the long-term impact on future campus-based provision.
