Private, historically black land grant university Tuskegee University recently selected JLL to provide integrated facilities management (IFM) services for its 5,000-acre campus in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Tuskegee University is the only Historically Black College and University (HBCU) designated a National Historic Site. Starting this month, JLL’s Education IFM team is responsible for maintaining and preserving the university’s grounds and 100 buildings housing more than 1.7 million square feet.
