Though colleges and universities are both arbiters and transmitters of culture, culture is itself organic, and therefore our institutions of higher learning must constantly iterate and invent themselves within a context that is constantly in flux. While the ability to change may be a core competency, the process is slow and painful. APPA inventoried leading change management protocols, subjected them to rigorous evaluation, adapted them to the idiosyncrasies of educational institutions, tested them in pilot implementations, and formalized them in an assessment model, the Strategic Assessment Model (SAM), that helps facilities officers balance tradition and change through the best management of higher education's built environment. Also outlines book's contents.
