2023 FACILITIES & CONSTRUCTION BRIEF spaces4learning
(See nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d22/tables/dt22203.10.asp.) Private PreK–12 school data are a bit more murky. NCES has
not yet updated projections for private schools since early 2020, and its estimates then were based on pre-pandemic trends. We will include data on private schools from the 2020 source in the table below.
Overall, projections for enrollments in PreK–12 education have been revised downward — where revisions have been made to previous data — through 2030.
DEGREE-GRANTING POST-SECONDARY
In higher education, 18.96 million students were projected to attend colleges and universities in 2022. Of those:
• 11.55 million were full-time.
• 7.4 million were part-time.
• 13.86 million were enrolled in public institutions. • 5.1 million were enrolled in private institutions.
Overall, projections for enrollments in higher education have been revised downward through 2030.

Source for all data prior to 2021 and private PreK–12 data for 2021, 2022, and 2030: National Center for Education Statistics, Enrollment in elementary, secondary, and degree-granting postsecondary institutions, by level and control of institution, enrollment level, and attendance status and sex of student: Selected years, fall 1990 through fall 2029.

Data or projections revised since our previous report
NCES has not revised data or projections of private PreK–12 enrollment since before the pandemic.
EDUCATIONALCONSTRUCTIONSP ENDING
T h e total dollar value of education construction work done in the U.S. (including all 50 states and the District of Columbia) is estimated to have been $99,191 billion in 2022. That is a modest increase from 2021 of about $665 million. That followed a
steep decline from 2020 to 2021 of about $12.2 billion, when supply chain and stang issues related to the public policy response to the pandemic seemed to have had a major eect on construction.
(See notes below the table.)Educational construction spending includes expenditures for new buildings and structures; additions; renovations; rehabilitations; major replacements
(such as the complete replacement of a roof or heating system); mechanical and electrical installations; site preparation; and outside construction of fixed structures or facilities, such as sidewalks, parking lots, and utility connections. Educational facilities include preschools, primary/secondary schools, higher education facilities, trade schools, training facilities, and other educational spaces, including museums and libraries.
