The Borel-Serre partial compactification gives cofinite models for the proper classifying space for arithmetic lattices. Non-arithmetic lattices arise only in semisimple Lie groups of ${\mathbb{R}}$-rank one. The author generalizes the Borel-Serre partial compactification to construct cofinite models for the proper classifying space for lattices in semisimple Lie groups of ${\mathbb{R}}$-rank one by using the reduction theory of Garland and Raghunathan.
