Publisher’s message March 2017

Michael Barnes, Publisher of High-Profile Monthly

Greetings to our new readers this month. You may have discovered HP for the first time in your mail if you are a member of the Society of College and University Planning  or you may have picked up a copy from the annual North Atlantic Region SCUP conference.

We carry news of educational facility developments every month, but March is an annual focus that expands the section past the center fold. Enjoy!
The Energy / MEP supplement in our center is a direct result of our participation with the North East Sustainable Energy Association’s (NESEA) BE17 trade show.  We hope you find HP useful and will choose to subscribe online.  Your comments are always welcome.
Next month HP will expand its monthly section on condos, apartments, senior living and assisted living facilities of all types. Whether you are a developer or a facility manager, architect or contractor, if you have an interest in multi residential design and construction this issue is for you. You are invited to participate through your computer, on your phone and in the High-Profile Monthly print publication for April.
