When Louisville Collegiate School was offered a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand its campus within a tight urban landscape, school leaders rejoiced. Despite thorough due diligence, they had to adjust course when parts of the community objected to what seemed like a win-win situation. CFO Deana Paradis shares how the business leader played an important role managing change, which has resulted in a more unified campus with less traffic congestion and stronger community partnerships. NBOA President and CEO Jeff Shields and educational consultant Howard Teibel explore with Paradis lessons learned and successes earned in navigating campus growth.
