Today’s K-12 education landscape is rapidly evolving. With enrollment growth slowing down and new construction needs decreasing, school districts must shift their focus to the effective maintenance and renovation of existing buildings. This shift ensures that school buildings remain healthy, sustainable, and adaptable, meeting the changing needs of students, educators, and administrators.

It's officially summer! The season of warmer weather and longer days brings challenges for facility managers who oversee corporate real estate, K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and other systems of infrastructure.

May 15, 2019 From all of us at Intellis, Happy World FM Day! Today we celebrate FM professionals. Thank you to all the facilities management professionals who keep our built environment healthy, safe, and productive!

University students spend 20 to 30 hours a week in classrooms and labs. At Intellis, we understand that educational institutions strive to match their students' dedication with a commitment to creating a healthy, safe, stimulating, and supportive environment that meets the individual needs of all higher education students.

Emerging technologies are transforming the facility management industry in significant ways, particularly in terms of how data is collected and analyzed for capital planning. Here we discuss the top trends that are driving digital transformation in capital planning and asset management for facilities.

The Healthcare industry is one of the most innovative sectors and is currently experiencing rapid advancement. So, the Intellis executive team spent last week meeting leaders at the annual HIMSS conference, a pivotal health IT event held in Orlando.

How well is your facility prepared for the future? Managing buildings, infrastructure, and equipment requires more than routine maintenance—it demands a strategic approach.

As cities grow and populations rise, the demand for electricity and other resources in the built environment increases rapidly. This has led to a need for innovative solutions that can help Facility Managers meet these growing demands while also reducing the impact on the environment. From innovative grid systems and energy-efficient buildings to renewable energy sources and sustainable transportation options, there are many different ways that we can work towards creating a more sustainable and livable future for everyone. By embracing new technologies and approaches to urban development, we can help ensure that our cities remain vibrant, healthy, and resilient for future generations.

Digital transformation dominated the Facilities Management sector in 2018. When it comes to improvements around quality, production, and longevity of physical assets, digital transformation is an unfolding revolution set to continue throughout 2019. Here, we discuss the top Facility Management technology trends to watch.

Capital planning is only as strong as the data behind it. Without reliable, up-to-date information about your buildings and assets, it's impossible to make confident decisions about long-term investments. Yet many organizations are still relying on outdated, paper-based, or siloed processes for Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs).
