Planned Renewal
The planned renewal program is a year round process to review the different components of the university's infrastructure and determine the current condition and the remaining useful life. In determining these two factors an anticipated replacement date is established. Examples of what are included in the plan are:
Facility condition assessments produce a wealth of detail that can be invaluable in budgeting for facility or campus infrastructure upgrades. To the extent that the results of the assessment can be tied in to broader organizational objectives, the facility condition assessment can help the facility executive win funding for projects that are often long-overdue. |
