From Data to Decision: USM's Strategic Approach to Facility Management

In this presentation the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and Roth IAMS will explore the challenges faced by higher education institutions in managing campus facilities and infrastructure and share the story of how USM is successfully taking on these challenges in their own unique way. Leveraging their Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) data, USM embarked on a unique path distinct from other state institutions, transitioning a pilot program at one of the Coastal campuses to an institution-wide roll-out, including successfully securing money to do address some important Deferred Capital Renewal and Maintenance needs.  This presentation will continue the story that USM and Roth IAMS began telling at SRAPPA 2022 in Tampa.

• Attendees will learn about USM’s innovative approach, the strategic decisions that set them apart, and how they have operationalized the data and tools that they gained as part of the FCA process.

• This session will provide valuable insights into their methodologies and the steps they are taking to build sustainable campus operations for the future.

• Learn how USM was able to leverage consistent and defensible data to convince their stakeholder to fund additional capital renewal projects in the first year of the program.
