With the expansion in college and university square footage, physical assets make up a greater portion of institutional wealth than ever before with values several times most endowments. However, with the ongoing needs brought about by a larger footprint, and challenges to operating and capital funding alike, it has never been so important to have an effective partnership between the CFO and Chief Facilities Officer.
Learn how institutional leaders are utilizing a new breed of facilities intelligence solutions to provide the same level of analytical rigor to facilities that most institutions already have for financial assets.
Webinar attendees will leave with an understanding of national trends affecting physical plant; insight into aligning space, capital, and operations; and how a new conversation can be created on your campus to assess performance, discover opportunities, and create lasting change.
The State of Facilities at Midwestern InstitutionsSightlines
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
This document summarizes the financial status of a school district. It reports a projected budget deficit of $608,000 for the current year. Revenues are projected to be stable due to growth in taxable property values. Expenditures are also projected to increase modestly due to increases in salaries, utilities, and campus funding. The district relies heavily on local property taxes for funding, which cover 84% of the budget and are inversely related to state funding amounts.

The State of Facilities at Eastern Region Institutions JUNE16Sightlines
The document discusses facilities challenges facing universities in the Eastern region of the United States. It notes that 58% of campus space is over 25 years old, and the percentage over 50 years old continues to rise, compounding renovation needs. Campus density in the region is also higher than other regions, increasing strain on building maintenance. Capital funding recovered slowly after cuts in 2010, but annual capital spending has risen as universities rely more on their own funding. The mix of capital projects has shifted toward high priority needs like building envelopes and systems. Facilities operating budgets and staffing levels are also rising slowly. As a result of slow funding growth, facilities backlogs have increased 23% since 2008. The document recommends strategies like understanding building port

Changing the Conversation: Making the Case for Funding Deferred Maintenance [...Sightlines
We are at a unique point in the history of managing higher education campuses. Two historic waves of building construction, 1955-1975, and 1995-2010 are increasing demands for capital investments at a time when resources available are limited. Traditional strategies for funding deferred maintenance (DM) will not work in the future. There is just too much backlog to be addressed at the time life cycles of newer buildings are coming due.
Facilities leaders know that there is a cost of waiting to fund DM projects: higher capital costs, program disruption and higher operational costs. But making the case to senior management for funding facilities sooner rather than later is a challenge as they try to balance funding facilities vs. funding faculty salaries and increase student financial aid.
In this session, participants learn from facilities leaders from California public and private campuses who have worked with Sightlines to package the DM needs into investment portfolios and successfully make the case for funding.

The State of Facilities in Higher Education: An In-Depth Look at the 2015 Tre...Sightlines
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.

Is Your Facilities Data Fact, Fiction, or Crap? - Creating Facilities Intelli...Sightlines
In this session, Abilene Christian University, University of Nebraska at Kearney, and New Mexico State University will share with you the steps they have taken to harness vast amounts of facilities and financial data to create facilities intelligence. Additionally, they will share how they have used this knowledge to provide strategic decision making support not only within their respective facilities organizations but also with senior administration and across the broader campus community. In a time of limited resources and competing demands, the value of validated data has never been greater.
Through a process of independent third party validation, benchmarking, and analysis they have been able to position their organizations for success. The creation of a common vocabulary allows information to be communicated effectively from the boiler room to the board room, thus helping their institutions understand both the impact of historic decisions and what the impact of future decisions may be on campus facilities. Much like institutions analyze the ROI of their endowments, this data-driven, fact-based analysis allows campuses to understand the interrelation of annual stewardship, asset reinvestment, operating effectiveness, and customer service; and how decisions in one of these areas can either positively or negatively impact other areas.
Changing the Conversation in Facilities Management - A Step Towards Total Cam...Sightlines
As a result of increasing demands for capital renewal investments at a time when resources are limited, we need a new conversation around facilities at our campuses. This conversation needs to engage stakeholders and force a dialogue regarding institutional priorities and facilities initiatives that support them. An institution-wide understanding of space priorities and capital needs must drive operating changes that stick.
Facilities leaders need to use a language that creates alignment throughout the institution and drives effective policies. They need to create constituency for a multi-year capital plan. They need to communicate results to drive credibility and maintain support. During this presentation, participants will learn different strategies for engaging with various constituencies on campus in order to create facilities plans that are technically sound and tie to mission and finance. Working together, we can create a dialogue that resonates from the board room to the boiler room.

When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It: Rutgers & Sightlines ERAPPA 201...Sightlines
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.

The State of Facilities at Pacific Coast Institutions May2016Sightlines
The document discusses facilities challenges facing universities on the Pacific Coast. It notes that 55% of campus space is over 25 years old, and the percentage of space over 50 years is rising. Universities in this region also have a high number of smaller buildings compared to other regions, putting more strain on operating budgets. Capital funding is still recovering from recession levels, with annual capital outpacing one-time funding. Pacific Coast universities have shifted spending toward high priority building systems and envelopes rather than space upgrades. Operating budgets are growing slowly while reinvestment needs continue to rise significantly. Strategies discussed to address challenges include understanding building portfolios, investing over time, reallocating savings, and changing conversations around facilities.

Plan More, React Less: Building & Expanding Your Planned Maintenance ProgramSightlines
Presented by Paul Armas, Director of Maintenance Operations, Brown University, Steve Maruszewski, Associate Vice President for Physical Plant, The Pennsylvania State University, and Kevan Will, Account Manager, Sightlines.
"We cannot afford to be in the reactive maintenance business!" - Steve Maruszewski, Penn State University
You understand that planned maintenance is the best means of prolonging the life of your building systems. But after you've replaced the filters and changed belts, how does your campus take the next step towards proactively addressing building needs? How do you establish a path towards reliability focused maintenance by changing the culture among your facilities organization? How do you put a plan in place that allows you to reap the cost and time savings of planned maintenance in the face of affordability pressures?
Steve Maruszewski, Assistant Vice President for Physical Plant at The Pennsylvania State University, and Paul Armas, Director of Maintenance Operations at Brown University, will join Kevan Will of Sightlines to discuss:
The implemented and projected planned maintenance strategies that have placed them among the leaders in proactive investment within the Sightlines database.
The importance of securing "buy-in" from both management and staff by developing a strategic plan that focuses on increasing value, reducing waste, and respecting people.
How to establish a cultural shift from valuing the extreme to valuing the routine.

Using Metrics for Facilities Resource Advocacy at the University of North Tex...Sightlines
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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Capital investment not enough to keep backlogs from growing
16. Summary of Trends
The aging campus is driven by the need to renovate or replace 1960s and 70s
buildings, many of which were poorly constructed
To add to the problem, campuses have added new square footage to address
increasing enrollment that has now leveled off or is even in decline
The demand for both “catch up” on aging buildings and “keep up” of newer buildings
is much higher than the availability of capital funding
Therefore, backlogs continue to grow even though capital funding is finally back to
pre-recession levels
Flat operating budgets have not provided relief to the backlog problem
In the face of these “bad news” trends, why have we not seen more building
failures and major facility problems on campuses?
18. Better data to identify and manage the most critical
repair risks for campus.
Systems tend to outperform their statistical target.
Lower cost repairs to systems rather than full system
replacements have bought extra service time.
Because campuses are a collection of buildings –
the risk is diversified over the portfolio.
The functional obsolescence of space drives
investments that brings outside resources, especially
to space.
What are Campuses Doing to Manage Risk?

45. > “No Net New Space” – A policy rooted in
sustainability, it states that no new space on
campus will be built without the removal of an
equal amount of deficient square footage.
> “No Net New Backlog” – A variation of no net
new space that states that no new
construction can occur without the mitigation
of an equal value of backlog.

55. Tie to Operations, Mission & Finance
Technical Assessment: Conduct Building walk-
throughs and component inventory to develop
initial list of needs.
Step 1: Integrate Technical Needs
Integrate operational perspective to target
inspections and reduce overall capital needs
Step 2: Create Building Portfolios
Segment the backlog and tie projects to mission
and institutional strategy
Step 3: Develop Multi-year Capital Plan
Create outcome based strategies by portfolio
Step 4: Project Section
Pick projects that support mission, operations,
and financial capacity
