The INSPIRE Research Group focuses on advancing effective, resilient, sustainable, and equitable infrastructure projects through alternative project delivery methods and digital transformation. Our mission is to integrate cutting-edge research in civil engineering, construction management, and technology to support infrastructure projects that are future-ready.

INSPIRE stands for:

• INfrastructure: Core focus on civil systems.
• Sustainability: Integrating environmentally responsible practices into infrastructure planning, design, construction, and operations
• Project Delivery: Using alternative delivery and procurement methods to optimize performance.
• Innovation: Leveraging digital tools, data-driven decision-making, and emerging technologies to optimize project delivery
• Resilience: Managing infrastructure that can adapt to changing conditions.
• Equity: Ensuring that infrastructure projects and workplaces consider team members and communities regardless of gender or identity

For all the themes:

We focus on Policy and Decision Support: Translating research into actionable strategies for practitioners and policymakers.
