As the 2025–26 school year approaches, facilities teams face a familiar challenge: balancing day-to-day operations with long-term capital planning. Whether you're managing a small district or a state-wide network of schools, a solid plan ensures buildings are safe, efficient, and ready to support student success.

When you're an engineering consultant working with a large K-12 school district, the stakes are high. Primarily, when tasked with completing a facility assessment of all 450 buildings, on time, on budget, and with high accuracy. If that sounds like your situation, you're not alone—and there is a solution.

The future of capital planning isn't coming—it's already here. And it's powered by AI. Across education, healthcare, and government, capital planners face growing challenges: aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, and limited budgets. Traditional tools and manual processes can't keep up. That's why AI is becoming a game-changer.

Summer may feel like a break for some, but for facility managers, it's go-time. With fewer people on site and more flexibility in schedules, summer is the ideal time to future-proof your facilities and address issues that have been piling up. Whether you're facing aging infrastructure, limited budgets, or growing expectations, a solid summer plan sets the stage for long-term success.

The future of campus facility management is data-driven, and Intellis is proud to be part of the movement. We're excited to announce that we'll be attending the Campus FM Technology Association (CFTA) 2025 Annual Conference, taking place from August 5 to 7, 2025, at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Minneapolis, MN.

We’re excited to connect with facilities and capital planning leaders at CFTA 2025! You’ll find us at the Intellis booth—ready to talk about smarter capital planning, data-driven decision-making, and the future of facilities management.

Facility planning is evolving fast. Whether you're overseeing a K-12 district, managing a healthcare campus, or stewarding a higher education institution, the way you approach capital planning and facilities management today looks very different from even five years ago.

Facilities management isn't just about keeping lights on and systems running—it's about leveraging data to create more efficient, sustainable, and responsive environments. With the right tools and insights, facilities managers can reduce costs, enhance asset performance, and even create a better experience for everyone who enters a building.

Managing a facility isn't what it used to be. Gone are the days of manual processes and never-ending spreadsheets. Today, successful facility management requires a streamlined and efficient approach driven by technology. Ready to see how next-generation software is transforming every aspect of facility management? Let’s explore what’s possible when you harness data, automation, and innovation to power your organization forward.

Managing facility assets efficiently requires a proactive approach to condition assessments and data management. Many organizations struggle with outdated assessment methods that lack real-time insights and comprehensive reporting. If you're exploring ways to streamline on-site Facility Condition Assessments and utilize a database system for better decision-making, you're in the right place!
