Universities across the globe are transforming or upgrading their campus infrastructure to prepare students for the work in the 21st century. Such campus transformations can be important in various ways. For example, universities can introduce innovative learning spaces that support recruitment and enrollment policies on campus. Even though the design, development, and efficient use of such spaces come with challenges, the reconceptualization of the university infrastructure is one way to move toward a new social contract for education. The author argues that innovative learning spaces can catalyze a new social contract for education. To overcome the challenges that accompany campus transformations, the models of governance and policies that support campus developments, such as partnerships within and between institutions, should be introduced.
