why campus age matters
DESCRIPTION
Higher education is constantly in a state of flux, and campus buildings are no exception. Advances in technology and the changing demands of campus constituents are placing tremendous pressures on buildings and facilities leaders alike. There are an abundance of post-war buildings across the country that are now at life-cycle tipping points which necessitate significant reinvestment. Complicating this already daunting challenge are all the facilities constructed within the last ten years that are still on their “honeymoon”, but require unique strategies to maintain their freshness in order to meet campus expectations. This is why campus age matters. This webinar will explore these issues and discuss the impact campus age will have on facilities leaders and the financial resources of an institution.TRANSCRIPT

Concluding Remarks
1. What is the age of your campus and how is it impacting the facilities management team?
2. Is your capital investment strategy properly aligned given the age and vintage of your facilities?
3. How are you measuring your customer satisfaction levels as they relate to the physical assets on campus?
