Management and Operations
Lifecycle costs associated with maintaining, operating, repairing, and renewing facilities far exceed initial construction costs. Today¡¯s facilities are technologically complex, adding to the importance of proper operation and maintenance to ensure functionality and preserve asset value. Real Estate and Facilities staff supports the ¾º²Â×ãÇòapp,Âò×ãÇò¾º²Êapp in maintaining a strategic focus on efficient and effective operation of facilities. Under the ¾º²Â×ãÇòapp,Âò×ãÇò¾º²Êapp¡¯s direction, we allocate major repair and renovation (MRR) funding to the institutions to provide for significant non-routine expenditures, such as roof replacements and mechanical and electrical system upgrades. We also actively pursue system-wide opportunities for cost savings, such as energy and water conservation measures.
