With thirty-three million square feet of space across twenty-three campuses, facility management is a complex process at Pennsylvania State University. In order to facilitate a return to campus post-COVID, Penn State leveraged technology and cross-functional teams to successfully plan and implement safe social distancing measures across various rooms types using a decentralized management model. Come learn from the successes and failures of a state-wide, multi-campus integrated planning and implementation effort to ensure the health and safety of the Penn State community.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify ways to incorporate safe social distancing parameters across multiple space types and campuses.
  2. Discuss how to leverage cloud-based technology to streamline safe social distancing processes and communication.
  3. Apply an innovative approach to layout drawings to optimize space usage during a pandemic and ensure the health and safety of your campus community .
  4. Determine best practices for communicating parameters and enforcement expectations across a decentralized team.
