Using Metrics for Facilities Resource Advocacy at the University of North Tex...
All higher education facilities management professionals have a story to tell campus leadership. This story focuses on facility needs in both physical asset management and facilities operational management, and it can be crucial to an institution’s future. How can facilities managers tell their story to have the most influence on key decision makers and gain their support?
This presentation, entitled "Using Metrics for Facilities Resource Advocacy," featured the University of North Texas (UNT) and highlighted how they have effectively used metrics to tell their facilities story. Armed with third-party verified data and associated metrics, facilities leaders were able to help senior decision makers better understand the campus’ facilities. Specifically, UNT was able to accurately inform their leadership of their space profile and financial challenges making the case for additional funds to reduce their backlog. They were also able to gain support from the UNT Board of Regents for a system-wide application of the data gathering and management model. Going forward, UNT is considering ways metrics can be used to help improve their current space utilization on campus.

The presentation emphasized understanding waste generation processes and leveraging regulatory flexibility to improve waste management.
Case study texas a&m a strategic approach
The document discusses Texas A&M's approach to reducing its deferred maintenance backlog. It originally totaled $1.6 billion but was scrubbed down to $720 million by removing projects beyond 10 years and separating E&G from auxiliary projects. The $720 million need was categorized by timeframe (0-3 years, 4-7 years, 8-10 years), investment criteria, and building portfolio. A priority process was recommended to set investment goals, fund the highest priority projects within 3 years for safety and reliability, and defer some projects between 7-10 years to reduce the backlog to a recommended funding level of $505 million.

In Sightlines’ State of Facilities in Higher Education report, in both 2013 and 2014, we cited warning signs of new challenges for colleges and universities. These trends have accelerated in 2015 and suggest that for many institutions the recovery, if it ever really occurred, was a temporary situation. Our 2015 report shows that enrollment and financial pressures require finance and facilities leaders to yet again find new ways to address the latest challenges.
In this webinar, we delve deeper into the trends that informed our analysis and provide insight into aligning space, capital, and operations. We also offered an opportunity for attendees to "Ask Sightlines" about the key facilities challenges they face and learn about innovative solutions at campuses across the country designed to address them.

Exploring the State of Sustainability in Higher Education 2016
This presentation explores the latest trends and achievements in higher education sustainability and features a review of the 2016 findings by highlighting each stage of the building life cycle.
2016 State of Facilities in Higher Education
The document summarizes the key findings from the 2016 State of Facilities in Higher Education report. It finds that deferred maintenance backlogs continue to rise significantly across institution types due to aging building stock constructed during a period of rapid, poor quality construction that has received insufficient capital funding for renovations. Space is growing faster than enrollment, especially at public institutions, contributing to lower campus density. Capital investment in existing space is increasing steadily but annual amounts remain below the growing deferred maintenance need. Operations budgets have increased modestly while energy usage and costs are declining modestly through fuel switching.
How UMass is reducing its deferred maintenance backlog
With enrollment swelling over 70,000 students, facilities and finance leaders at the University of Massachusetts system and its individual campuses knew they must implement a plan to address this growth while properly maintaining their facilities. Using a comprehensive strategy, the University of Massachusetts system is on track to reduce its deferred maintenance backlog by nearly 30% over the next three years. One representative from the UMass system discussed the benefits of a system-wide approach for handling deferred maintenance, and how Sightlines’ data helped provide the necessary tools.

In this presentation, Rutgers University discussed their process for establishing best practice policies during the largest merger in Higher Education’s history.
On July 1, 2013, the largest merger in the history of U.S. higher education occurred when Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) created a super-sized Rutgers with 67,000 students, 27 million gross square feet of space and 1,100 additional employees. The merger was only the beginning. In addition to the UMDNJ integration, the facilities departments for housing and satellite campuses were restructured under one facilities umbrella as a unified organization.
As Yogi Berra, a long time New Jersey resident, once said: “When you come to a fork in the road – take it.” Faced with having to manage and deploy over 1,700 people, an annual facilities operating budget of $227 million, and a capital budget of $150 million, consolidation brought Rutgers leadership to that fork in the road.
Since the merger, Rutgers facilities leaders have been navigating in a climate of change and closely examining every aspect of their facilities across multiple campuses, using data-driven, comparative metrics and analysis provided by Sightlines. An expert panel will discuss the process used to engage stakeholders (including administration, faculty, students and staff) and change the philosophy about managing space, operations and capital planning.
Attendees will learn:
How to engage campus leadership and facilities staff about using data and analysis during a time of major change;
How to standardize policies and procedure to maximize quality of services within budgetary constraints;
How to change and manage expectations of the campus community about levels of service for maintenance, custodial and grounds;
How data and analysis can lead to changes in campus philosophy regarding use and interaction of space, capital planning and operations to improve capital investments and facilities operations in significant ways.
Prepping for the President: Planning Rutgers' 250th Commencement
Imagine the President of the United States chooses to make a commencement address at your institution. It’s a big deal, right? What if this ceremony also marked your institution’s 250th anniversary, and you expect more than 50,000 attendees, rain or shine? Then it’s a huge deal. And what if your commencement task force had less than a month to finalize plans? Talk about a perfect storm.
This was situation that Rutgers University faced this spring, when they learned on April 14 that President Obama had decided to make a speech during commencement on May 15.
This presentation explores the historic visit and the massive preparation effort involved in its execution from Tony Calcado, Senior Vice President, Institutional Planning and Operations, who served as chair of the commencement task force. Hear about logistics challenges including transportation, public safety and off-site locations.
The State of Facilities at Midwestern Institutions
The document lists various universities and their facilities data. It then provides a summary of key trends in facilities for Midwestern universities:
- Over 60% of space is over 25 years old, posing reliability risks as components age past their lifecycles.
- Enrollment has remained flat while space has increased, resulting in a 22% decline in student density and raising questions about space management.
- Capital funding recovered in 2013 after cuts in 2010 but remains below inflation-adjusted levels, forcing campuses to do more with less in operations and maintenance.
- Shifting investments to building envelopes and systems over space upgrades extends the lifespan of renovations. However, backlogs continue rising due to limited funding
Sightlines Membership Update - The Value of Integration with Gordian

Data & Sustainability: How the Right Data Creates Success
Many sustainability officers are stretched thin by their duties, which includes a heavy workload of measuring and reporting data, both internally and externally. Despite this potential drawback, data is not the enemy of sustainability leaders. In fact, data and sustainability can go hand-in-hand as you build your case and outline opportunities for future improvements.
In this presentation, you'll learn:
- How data can help you overcome industry trends and make a difference on campus
- Ways data can build constituency around sustainability goals
- The value of verified data & peer context
- How reporting burdens can be eased
Creating Alignment with Non-Facilities Professionals - APPA 2016
How does the facilities manager create alignment with non-facilities professionals and up the reporting ladder? How do you assure yourself a seat at the table where you can communicate past successes and future investment requirements to drive the institution forward and deliver best-in-class service? You can use data, like many facilities leaders nationwide, who are arming themselves with validated longitudinal data, peer comparisons, and predictive analytics. By creating a common vocabulary that can be understood and communicated from the boiler room to the boardroom, you become a better partner to all constituents at your institution.
Presenters:
Ralph Johnson, AVP, Facilities Management Division, University of Georgia
Don Santostefano, Senior Director, Facilities Management, Lebanon Valley College
Kevan Will, Account Manager, Sightlines

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
