Facilities and services are a huge drain on community college budgets. They are also vital to the student experience. As funding dries up across the country, many institutions are taking a team approach, working with partner colleges and private service providers to offset costs and generate revenue without sacrificing the services and amenities students have come to expect. Some have formed consortia to share resources with partner institutions. Others have explored outsourcing as a means of improved efficiency. Still others have embraced the role of landlord, renting out underused spaces to host community-based events. No matter the strategy, the goal is the same: to find new and different ways to pool resources, cut operational costs, and better manage facilities in the midst of a historic budget crunch.
