“Ellen inherited two troubled projects at UTD after the departure from KSQ Design of multiple key team members. Working diligently to rebuild her team, and in cooperation with the CM at Risk, Ellen's team closed the gap with a budget driven redesign - the result; two student housing projects delivered early and under budget! Anyone can manage a project with the right assets and enough time - righting the ship with a lagging project is where Ellen really shines.”

And while they know, inherently, that more capacity is needed, the point may be difficult to argue to university administrators. What…
Student housing has evolved significantly in the last generation, and campuses are more aware than ever of the growing discrepancy between contemporary new facilities and their older, more traditional stock. As they examine the challenge of facility updates, many housing administrators are daunted by construction expense, schedule, and disruption in bed count. And while they know, inherently, that more capacity is needed, the point may be difficult to argue to university administrators. What kind of housing do we need? Is our current model the right mix?
