The 2022 edition of the AUDE Higher Education Estates Management Report is now available. The data on which the report is based covers the period August 2020 to July 2021 – and as a reminder, this is the height of the pandemic. It is a time of immense upheaval, and this year we read that disruption in virtually every item of data and every graph in our report. It is reasonable to think that this annual EMR report will be the best at showing that sense of before/after, and therefore be useful as a marker for years to come.
