Address Increasingly Complex Deferred Maintenance Decisions

Deferred maintenance backlogs are growing as campus buildings age, costs rise, and Facilities teams work within limited budgets. Yet condition data alone rarely determines which projects should come first. Facilities leaders must also weigh academic priorities, institutional risk, available funding, and the long-term costs of maintaining campus space.

This webinar will help campus leaders prioritize capital renewal projects, build adaptable investment plans, and make a stronger case for funding. You will learn how to connect condition assessments to institutional goals such as student success, enrollment, research, and sustainability. We’ll cover planning for short-, mid-, and long-term needs, including forecasting renewal costs and evaluating whether some buildings should be taken offline. Our experts will also outline approaches to supporting capital renewal, such as maintenance endowments, dedicated fees, and annual budget allocations.

Key takeaways:

• Turn facilities assessments into clear information about building condition, institutional risk, and future costs.
• Prioritize renewal projects using consistent criteria that reflect academic and institutional goals.
• Create adaptable capital plans, including a current list of projects ready to move when funding becomes available.
• Explore funding strategies and strengthen the case for capital renewal.

You’ll leave with strategies to communicate the rationale behind facilities priorities and help campus stakeholders understand the risks of postponing investment.
