The FOUNDATION of Student Success

Making strategic decisions that transform your institution in a way that enhances student experience, increases enrollment, and improves ROI is no easy task.

The Challenge

Financial officers of educational institutions are well aware of the struggle of facilities maintenance, capital planning, construction, and expansion. Around half of facility planning staff at US Universities have expressed that their current budgets and business models will not sustain the campus for over 10 years which is what is expected.

As expenses rise and less funding is allocated to facility management and asset management, it is crucial that financial officers of educational institutions find ways to make planning and maintenance more efficient and effective. Most schools and educational facilities lack sufficient technological support for long-term facility maintenance, capital planning, and budgeting. Using a facility management software, such as FOUNDATION, can vastly improve the daily management of essential physical assets.

The Solution

Embracing technology is key for facility managers at colleges and universities. Structured and organized FM has the potential to improve the physical performance and appearance of a building and its systems, as well as to increase the users' level of satisfaction, and to improve the efficiency with which the building is maintained and operated.

Facilities leaders can address issues with the help of facilities management software, which enable you to clear the backlog of deferred maintenance, measure performance, and implement sustainable models for smart planning and capital investment that will better align your facilities department with the schools’ mission, so that you can achieve your goals and ensure the success of your educational institution for generations to come.

FOUNDATION is the only software of its kind to provide customized systems for evaluating a myriad of aspects of facilities, reports based on condition assessments, project planning for renovations and updates, spending oversight, and capital planning to properly align your needs and goals to your budget. FOUNDATION has been proven successful on over $50 billion in building and infrastructure plans ranging from large and small environments. It continuously improves budgets using feedback from project history.

With these kinds of tools, k-12 and higher education facilities of all sizes are empowered to plan for changes and maintenance, better serving their boards, their budgets, their employees, and their students.
