Our number 1 goal is to provide our clients and partners with high-quality software solutions and expert customer service that empowers college and university facility leaders and capital planners to do their jobs with greater efficiency.
Technology should empower your team to improve workflow efficiency. Staying up-to-date on how to use data and insight tools for facilities is an easy way to cut costs. With the help of enterprise software, like FOUNDATION, facility managers can leverage building data and turn it into actionable insights.
Here are the top 3 cutting edge technologies that are set to transform the way you manage and plan facilities on campus in 2021 and beyond!
1. Partners for the Future Building Information Management and Facility Management
Embracing BIM Technology is the key for Improving collaboration and communication for 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.
This is one of the top tech tools on our radar in 2021. BIM offers a huge opportunity to improve collaboration and communication for facility managers.
2. The Smart Campus Transforming the colleges and universities into a strategic asset with intelligent technology
Recently we have discussed the Smart Cities movement, which is defined as the search for ways in which technology can be used to improve services for residents and make their lives better. Now, colleges and universities are employing learnings from the Smart Cities revolution on their campuses.
Staying updated on how to use data and insight tools in order 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.Plans will help your institution in the development of accurate and transparent capital improvement plans that strategically prioritize your capital investments and mitigate risks. In addition, with FOUNDATION.Plans, you can easily manage deferred maintenance with a clear understanding of immediate versus long-term improvements.

3. Building on Resilience Colleges and Universities will become environmental innovators
Today, higher education institutions are expected to be good stewards of the environment and ensure they not only stay compliant but also become sustainability innovators.
Owing to past Environmental Protection Agency regulations and compliance requirements, education institutions have become leaders in the pursuit of environmental and sustainability goals.
Increasingly, institutions are identifying areas where they can actually 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 on the publication of an annual guide to environmental management in an effort 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 in order to effectively protect a school’s reputation from non-compliance citations. A strategic software solution like FOUNDATION, a full-service platform that collection data and insights from conditions assessments all the way through through to capital improvement plans, can reveal new ways of doing things in order to empower higher education facility professionals to find hidden value and maximize resources.
