Education construction will hold steady this year in California and across the nation, but the real future potential lies in the development of charter schools, says Yehudi “Gaf” Gaffen, CEO of the construction management firm Gafcon.
Gaffen was the moderator of a panel titled “New Developments in Education,” hosted by the Southern California Development Forum in Los Angeles. Panelists included Peter Hendrickson, associate vice chancellor/design and construction, UCLA; Ken Zeff, COO, Green Dot Public Schools; and Dan Kreinbring, senior advisor/charter school facilities, California Charter Schools Association.
