Planning in higher education means different things to different people. When planning, we often treat facilities in silos – master plans for new facilities and renovations, capital renewal plans for long-term capital needs, and operational planning to determine staffing and annual operation and maintenance funding needs. Strategic facility planning integrates all three key components and paints a far better picture of facility needs to a much wider audience. This session will provide some planning tips and tools for communicating to diverse stakeholder groups to achieve better results in budgeting and funding for facilities.
• Understand and know your audience(s) and their unique perspectives.
• Understand the three pillars of facility planning.
• Developing the right framework for telling the facilities story.
• Communicating for funding success.
