How Minnesota State Colleges Saved $50M with EMS Space Management

"We were able to replace that 83,000 sq ft building with a 23,000 square foot building. We estimate the cost savings at about $50,000,000 that we were able to save because we were able to validate the smaller building rather than the larger building [using EMS]." - Stacy Brown, Facilities Data Analyst"
