Join Intellis Labs at Edu-Tech Facilities 2025: How AI Is Reshaping K-12 Capital Planning

The Future of K-12 Facility Planning Starts with Data and AI

Across the country, K-12 school districts are facing a familiar challenge: how to maintain and modernize aging infrastructure while working within increasingly tight budgets. From outdated HVAC systems to deferred maintenance and limited capital funds, the pressure is on to make smarter, faster decisions about where and when to invest.

That's where data and AI are changing the game.

Technology is helping facility leaders move from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven capital planning—transforming how schools assess, forecast, and invest in their built environments.

This October, education and facilities leaders from across the nation will come together at Edu-Tech Facilities 2025 to explore exactly how this transformation is unfolding. Intellis Labs is proud to be part of that conversation.

About Edu-Tech Facilities 2025

Organized by the Opal Group, Edu-Tech Facilities is an exclusive, invitation-only event that brings together senior facilities officers, superintendents, CFOs, and technology innovators shaping the future of education infrastructure.

Over three days—October 19, 2025, to October 21, 2025—at the Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort Spa, Palm Springs, CA, attendees will connect, collaborate, and discover new ways to create smarter, more sustainable learning environments.

The Summit's focus on strategy, technology, and innovation makes it the ideal platform for sharing insights on how AI and digital tools are reshaping capital planning for schools.

Steven Warshaw Takes the Stage

Intellis Labs CEO Steven Warshaw will join the Edu-Tech Facilities 2025 lineup to present his talk:

Leveraging Technology and AI in Capital Planning

From raw data to real decisions—how schools can use technology and AI to plan smarter, faster, and with fewer missteps.

Join Steven Warshaw for an interactive roundtable with facilities leaders on how to turn assessment data into actionable capital plans. Discover strategies to avoid common pitfalls, apply modern technology and AI, and share real-world solutions to today's toughest planning challenges.

Steven will explore how emerging technologies, such as AI, are helping school districts transition from relying on spreadsheets and guesswork to making precise, data-informed capital decisions. His session will show how these tools can empower education leaders to predict facility needs, plan more effectively, and stretch limited budgets further—all while creating safer and more efficient environments for students and staff.

With decades of experience helping educational institutions modernize their facilities strategies, Steven brings a deep understanding of both the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of K-12 infrastructure.

How Technology and AI Are Transforming Capital Planning

In recent years, AI and data analytics have revolutionized the way organizations manage the lifecycle of their facilities. For school districts, these tools are potent. They enable the integration of data from facility condition assessments, maintenance logs, and budget forecasts into a single, intelligent system.

Instead of relying on reactive maintenance or outdated reports, districts can now use predictive modeling and digital twin technology to simulate how facilities will perform over time.
That means no more surprises when a roof fails or a system reaches the end of its life cycle—AI-driven insights can help leaders anticipate those needs well in advance.

By applying technology and AI in capital planning, K-12 institutions can make more confident decisions, ensure long-term sustainability, and align investments with educational goals.

The Intellis Approach: Turning Data into Action

At Intellis Labs, we believe data should do more than describe problems—it should drive solutions. That's the Foundation of our flagship platform, the Foundation System.

The Foundation System helps educational institutions and other organizations take control of their facilities data through powerful tools for condition assessment, capital planning, and portfolio management.

Powered by AI, Foundation transforms raw assessment data into clear, actionable insights. It allows decision-makers to:

  • Identify and prioritize critical maintenance issues
  • Optimize budgets across multiple campuses
  • Build defensible, data-backed capital improvement plans
  • Track progress and performance over time

This approach aligns directly with Steven Warshaw's message at Edu-Tech Facilities 2025: when facilities data and AI come together, districts can make smarter investments, reduce risk, and future-proof their schools.

Why It Matters for K-12 Facilities Leaders

For K-12 leaders, every dollar counts—and every decision has a lasting impact. That's why AI-powered capital planning isn't just about technology; it's about empowerment.

When districts can accurately assess building conditions, forecast costs, and simulate long-term scenarios, they gain the confidence to invest strategically rather than reactively.

The result?

  • Stronger financial stewardship — capital dollars are allocated where they'll have the greatest impact.
  • Improved safety and performance — proactive maintenance prevents costly emergencies.
  • Enhanced learning environments — students benefit from well-maintained, sustainable facilities.

Ultimately, this shift toward data-driven capital planning ensures that schools will continue to provide safe and inspiring spaces for generations to come.
