Students don’t have to come to campus to earn a degree anymore, but they still want to.
After years of (slow) shifting toward online learning options, colleges and universities across the nation were thrown into the deep end of virtual learning by the COVID 19 pandemic.
Everything changed.
But as campuses reopen, students, faculty, and staff have all been reminded that there’s nothing quite like campus life. There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a classroom dialogue, the energy of a residence hall, the cheer of a crowd rallying for the college team.
At the core of the on-campus experience is of course, buildings. Facilities are the framework of college and university campuses.
Balancing Priorities in University Facility Management
Facility managers, maintenance technicians, custodians, and groundskeepers are essential staff for delivering campus experience. They serve college students and staff by providing comfortable, engaging environments in every campus building.
Higher education facility management teams also focus on keeping occupants safe, ensuring that critical assets work properly, and simultaneously aim to save money for their institutions. Now that’s a lot of competing priorities.
University buildings impact more than just the day-to-day experiences on campus. They also impact both recruitment and retention.
So how do facilities teams keep it all straight? Download our guide for facility management in higher education to get started.
