Out of Crisis Comes Opportunity - Real Estate and the University Model

The UC campus financial model is in transition. With state funding dropping dramatically over the last decade and a new focus on revenue generation, UC Berkeley is revisiting its approach to real estate. The UC Berkeley Foundation Real Estate Advisory Board has been analyzing opportunities to increase the school's revenue through operational efficiencies and entrepreneurial initiatives for its substantial portfolio of non-academic real estate holdings, which include housing, office, retail, athletic, parking, rec/sports, entertainment, research, warehouse, and other properties. UC Berkeley and universities across the state will increasingly be looking to innovative public-private partnerships as a way to create new sources of revenue while enhancing the campus experience. Join Bob Lalanne (President, Lalanne Group and Trustee, University of California Berkeley Foundation) for a conversation on the changing university model for real estate.
