Facilities Management: Enhancing the student experience
In contemplating the student experience on a
university campus, one often thinks in terms of student
orientation, academic coursework, social interactions, final
exams, and ultimately, graduation often forgetting the
importance of the physical built environment as part of that
experience. The University understands the impact the built
environment can have on student success and accomplishment and
as steward, the University works tirelessly to conserve,
sustain, and future plan for the universitys facilities and
grounds. Facilities Management plays a significant role in this
stewardship process. The following is a list of completed and
ongoing campus projects and initiatives focusing on cleaning,
lighting, space management, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting
and flooring, life safety and security, elevators, windows,
grounds, signage, and even the Koi pond.
