Understand the Other Side

Capital Project Insights From Trustees and Administrators

By: James H. Kolker, Judith Nitsch, Sylvia Smith

Abstract: “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Everyone wants to do a good job on a facilities project, but it can be hard when you don't understand the other side’s unique perspectives, needs, goals, and competing demands. This session features insights from people who have been on both sides of a project—as architects, engineer, and sustainability professionals who also serve as college trustees and administrators. We'll share how to nurture empathy, prevent misunderstanding, and make your next facilities project run more smoothly.

How Alamo Colleges Expanded its Facilities Maintenance Budget

A Data-Driven Approach to Asset Management Provided the Strategy

By: Kyle LeBlanc

Reporting metrics did not become a substitute for stakeholder-based decisions. The state of facilities was consistently communicated to building superintendents, the board of trustees, students, faculty, staff, and college presidents.

From Volume 47 Number 3 | April–June 2019

Abstract: Managing a facility inventory can be frustrating, particularly when it seems like money to properly maintain your buildings is scarce. Tracking and communicating facilities data to stakeholders can make all the difference for both annual maintenance and capital expenditures. For Alamo Colleges, it resulted in $17 million more for maintenance funding over 10 years, and the passing of a $450 million-bond program. This article explains how to conduct a comprehensive facility condition assessment, use the data from that assessment to identify needs, and then communicate those needs to stakeholders in a convincing way.
