What would it take to create a new, more sustainable, Higher Education? What makes existing institutions static, hard to truly be regenerative, and perpetuate their own progressive education model development?
We ask ourselves those questions often.
At InSB we are committed to develop a dynamic model, one that will improve, and change, as times and the industry needs change; a model that will lead the way to sustainability and innovation.
This can only be done by ensuring we are ever-evolving (avoiding political and personal interests to exist – ie tenureship), and by constantly being in touch with the real world. Connecting and collaborating with the professions.
Is the existing Higher Education model another economic bubble, ready to burst?
Student debt, in the US for the first time in economic history, exceeds financial and credit card debt. That is staggering.
The student is least to blame as, if looked holistically, Higher Education institutions have operated mostly with their own interests as priority, like any other business. Except they are not every other business, and the interests of the student body, as well as that of the industry they are entering, should supersede.
Does the Higher Ed Model need disrupting?
Many recent articles have been published speaking of “disrupting” the existing model, and creating institutions that will be innovative and student-centered, putting their interests first before the institution’s.
Join us, in the journey, of being “disruptive”.
We will proceed the set the foundation for a new specialized, connected, sustainable education.
Join us as we foster the next (best) AEC generation.
What is the Integrated School of Building?
A University. A Technology Park. A Research+Development Laboratory. A Co-Working Environment. An Incubator. An Innovator. A Space. A Place.
The first of its kind, InSB will open as a Progressive Student-Centered Organization.
Fostering the next (best) AEC generation.
What is an InSB student?
A Capable Professional. A Team Member. A Team Builder. A Team Leader.
