In this blog, we discuss cutting-edge technologies transforming Facility Management on campus!
Partners for the Future: Building Information Management and Facility Management
Embracing Building Information Management (BIM) Technology is the key to improving collaboration and communication among facility managers. Traditionally used by contractors and architects, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a tool for developing and scaling virtual models of building projects. While BIM is not a new technology, it is increasingly commonplace in the facility management sector.
BIM offers College and University Facility Managers the most complete visual model of facilities, assets, and infrastructure. Campus Facility professionals can use BIM to harness the power of these tools for project management, delivery, and data accessibility. When integrated with existing work order programs or facility maintenance software, facility teams realize an improved ability to retrieve accurate asset information and insights. Overall, BIM offers a huge opportunity to improve collaboration and communication for facility managers.
The Smart Campus: Transforming Colleges and Universities into Strategic Assets
We recently discussed the Smart Cities movement, which is defined as the search for ways technology can improve residents' services and lives. Now, colleges and universities are employing lessons from the Smart Cities revolution on their campuses. Staying updated on how to use data and insight tools to improve facilities and get the most out of your institution's physical assets is one of the most efficient ways to cut costs.

When it comes to capital planning, a strategic software solution like FOUNDATION will help your institution develop accurate and transparent capital improvement plans that strategically prioritize your capital investments and mitigate risks. In addition, with FOUNDATION, you can easily manage deferred maintenance with a clear understanding of immediate versus long-term improvements. With powerful software like the FOUNDATION Solution, facility managers can turn building and asset data into actionable insights.
Building on Resilience Colleges and Universities Become Environmental Innovators
Today, higher education institutions are expected to be good stewards of the environment, ensure compliance, and become sustainability innovators. Owing to past Environmental Protection Agency regulations and compliance requirements, education institutions have become leaders in pursuing environmental and sustainability goals.
Increasingly, institutions are identifying areas where they can go beyond mere compliance and evolve into proactive management to support more progressive campus-wide environmental and sustainability goals. Since 1996, industry associations APPA and CSHEMA have collaborated to publish an annual ecological management guide to help facility managers go above and beyond.
Environmental compliance requirements are continually evolving and are becoming increasingly complex. It’s essential to have a collaborative and continuous improvement mindset to protect a school’s reputation from non-compliance citations effectively. FOUNDATION is a strategic software solution, a full-service platform that collects data and insights from conditions assessments to capital improvement plans. It can reveal new ways of doing things and empower higher education facility professionals to find hidden value and maximize resources.
