On Wednesday, August 5, Sightlines was joined by a few of our outstanding member institutions to present “Don’t Leave Your Facilities Needs to Chance – From Game Plan to Master Planning: Using Data to Load the Dice” during the APPA 2015 Annual Meeting & Exposition. This session offered attendees insight into how two facilities manager have tied deferred maintenance studies to program needs by incorporating that data into space utilization and master planning initiatives.
This presentation demonstrates how to:
Maximize the value of a deferred maintenance assessment
Integrate DM data with space utilization and master planning
Optimize institutional resources to mitigate risk
Be a partner in program success rather than a follower

• There are numerous key players
involved
• Every player/constituents may have a
different priority than yours
• Strategic investments are required
• Different properties hold different
