Colleges and Universities across the country are faced with how to help their students come back to campus safely.  Schools are working through strategies for how they can open in the fall with a safe environment and appropriate social distancing, weighing options and preparing for multiple possibilities.  While there is no one-size-fits-all plan, there are industry solutions that may be beneficial to you as you look to re-open and re-populate your campuses so your staff, students, community and parents can comeback with confidence.

MCA and CINCF in partnership with Siemens Smart Infrastructure, will host a webinar focused on this topic for facility managers, CFO’s and Presidents.
