At thousands of schools and universities, years of economic troubles have led to repeated budget cuts.

And so nearly every facility manager at an education institution faces a…

Kennedy, Mike – American School & University, 2010
Many education institutions have embraced the growing push for sustainable design and have built environmentally friendly facilities that use resources more efficiently.

Kennedy, Mike – American School & University, 2008
Educators and administrators may differ over what kind of floor surfaces they prefer in their facilities--carpeting or hard flooring. Advocates on each side can make a case for their choices, depending on how a building is being used, the wishes of building occupants, or the budget they have available. However, no matter what kind of flooring a…

Pokross, Ben – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2012
With tax revenues beginning to rebound in most states and endowments on the rebound at many private and public institutions, colleges and universities are growing more hopeful about their financial outlook and instituting new strategies to take advantage of the opportunities. Yet as the economic recovery has slowed in the past few months,…

Keating, Tom – American School & University, 2009
Many students think custodians are hired to pick up after them. And sometimes adult workers voice similarly negative impressions. What can education institutions do about this negative and improper thinking?

Kennedy, Mike – American School & University, 2008
Deferred maintenance has been one of the great failings of many of the nation's education institutions, and roofs--out of sight, out of mind--are one of the easiest elements of maintenance to neglect.

At one end of the rope, facilities professionals must do more--tackle deferred maintenance, develop a climate strategy, and meet the energy and operational needs for a complex mix of building types and stakeholders. Tugging on the other end are the obstacles of less money, staff, and…
