Learn how national data trends show campus buildings are aging and campus backlogs are growing. And, that these trends will accelerate over the next ten years as building constructed in the 1960's turn 50 years old and capital funding from all sources continue to be limited.
Furthermore, learn how the partnership between Sightlines, LLC and University of Massachusetts - Amherst that began in 2005 resulted in more refined documented building conditions, creation of portfolios of projects, and engaged campus leadership in a priority setting process to reach consensus on a multi-year capital plan through the Integrated Facilities Planning process.

Conclusions
• More buildings are crossing over into higher risk age profile and will increase
campus backlog unless addressed
• Shrinking capital and operating budgets and increasing debt will make setting
clear priorities for capital renewal critical
• Renovate or demolish decisions will become more common in next decade,
especially for the +50 buildings
• Cuts in operating budgets will force campuses to find new ways to deploy staff
without reducing levels of service and quality of campus appearance
• Campuses need data‐driven strategies for documenting backlog of need,
creating portfolios for investments and identifying highest priority projects

Five Easy Steps CFOs Can Take to Reduce Facilities
Risk Exposure
13. 13
Five steps to reduce facilities risk exposure
1. Understand your campus age profile.
2. Understand the cost of keeping‐up (Annual Stewardship) and how much cost
you are deferring into the future.
3. Understand your capital project mix – is it diverse and hitting all aspects of
campus need?
4. Understand work order hot spots – this information can tell you where the
greatest risks are on campus.
5. Understand energy consumption and costs to identify opportunities for
savings.

The keys to success
• Understanding key metrics and how UMA compared
with peers
• A comprehensive list of identified needs
Knowing where
we were
• Making decisions about the future of specific
buildings
• Creating investment strategies by building portfolio
Creating A Plan
• Regular review of successes and failures
• Adjust as necessary – flexibility is important
Monitoring the

Facilities MB&A
And all of this while our underinvestment into buildings is driving up our backlog of needs.
Included in FY11-FY16 building inventory: FY14 – Stetson Hall Section of New Sawyer Building Online and New Library; Sawyer Library demolishedIncluded in FY11 IFP Update but not in building inventory: A Timeframe - Construction of New Offsite Storage, Rebuild Class of ‘37 (formerly Children’s Center); Weston Field & Plansky Track ComplexB Timeframe – Relocation of complex including service building, B&G North, and Agway area; Construction of SE Quadrant Chiller Plant
Campus was aging: without large-scale capital infusions to target building renovations, the campus renovation age was increasing steadily. Many buildings were in a period of major life cycle needs, and others were already beyond that period and has “missed” life cycles, straining the maintenance staff with on going emergency repair needs.Energy Consumption increasing: with older, inefficient building systems in many campus facilities, energy consumption was increasing. There had been little to no efforts made to modernize and reduce energy consumption.
The investments that had been made were very space-heavy. This was a particularly dangerous profile for two reasons:With the average age of campus facilities at 45 years old, many buildings had significant needs within building mechanical systems, yet investment was being focused on space renewal work, such as painting, flooring, and furniture. This strategy not only results in potential exposures (missed life cycles on the building systems and components).It is indicative of the campus users driving the project selection; without a methodology behind project selection, the campus administration is unable to justify deferring one project over another.
None of the previous three trends are good trends to have. In order to fundamentally change the trends and the campus mentality about capital investment strategies, the university needed a more comprehensive view.Working with Sightlines, UMA identified the needs on campus on a project-by-project level. Segmenting the needs into manageable portfolios based on investment strategy allowed for multiple buildings and project types to be manage simultaneously, rather than by a single plan. Strategies were developed to address the needs on campus, and the progress towards the strategy is reviewed every 6 months. Each year the plan, allocations, and strategies are reviewed by facilities and finance administrators.
These are the findings from the initial 2006 report:Over $2.0 billion in needs, of which $1.6 billing were within the existing campus (i.e. NOT new construction)Of those existing needs, over 60% of them were “A timeframe”, or near-term needs. This is reflective of the historic spending levels and selection, as well as the age of campus.
In order to break this “elephant in the room” into logical (and less intimidating) pieces, Building Portfolios (see red outlined boxes) were created to allow for groups of buildings to be managed under a single investment strategy.Transitional Facilities: buildings that would not be part of the UMA campus in the upcoming years, due either to demolition or saleBuilding Renovation: buildings that would require a full renovation in the upcoming yearsRepurpose: buildings that would be repurposed within the upcoming yearsMaintain: campus facilities that would not receive major capital infusions for gut renovations- regular stewardship and operational needs would be met
Each year, as part of the monitoring process, we review how the past year’s expenditures were split among the portfolios. Spending into the “Transitional” Portfolio (shown in purple) are closely reviewed to understand if the plan for these facilities had changed (i.e. the building would no longer be demolished and should be moved to another Portfolio) or if there was a programmatic request that was approved that did not meet the investment strategy.
Using both operating costs and identified capital needs from the Integrated Facilities Plan, we were able to determine the 10-year costs for existing buildings. Our first focus was Bartlett Hall, a 114,000 GSF Academic Building built in 1960 that had not received any major capital renovations since it’s construction. This chart displays the annual operating costs (and the 3-year average of those costs) for Barlett Hall – this information was collected from the UMA work order system, which tracks contract, labor, material, and utility costs by building. On average, UMA was spending $573,000 annually to operate this facility. The equates to just over $5/GSF.

On average, UMA was spending $573,000 annually to operate this facility. The equates to just over $5/GSF.
Using this information, we could compare the capital and operational costs over the next 10 years of renovating the existing building vs. demolishing it and building a new facility of the same size. This analysis showed that it was less expensive to do the latter.
UMA has been using the IFP for 6 years to date, monitoring progress every 6 months. After the initial findings were shared, UMA received a major capital infusion to improve campus conditions and address the deferred maintenance. In that time, we have seen the building needs decrease by 18%. Many buildings have been renovated, or demolished and replaced with new facilities.
Spending profile from FY06-FY11 has lowered space investment, improved investment into Building Systems and InfrastructureShould also note that spending as a whole increased thanks to state funding made available after the initial findings were shared.
