Message from the Associate Vice President of Facilities Management
The recent integration of all facility related departments at WMU provides an opportunity for us to adapt to the changing environment in higher education facilities management. We must address challenges in accountability, demographic changes, sustainability, and lifecycle cost management. The alignment of all facility related aspects into one Department has created a unified approach to our stewardship responsibilities. More specifically, each division supports each other to be successful in their responsibilities for the life cycle of the facility asset. That includes planning, engineering, designing, constructing, and operating the facility asset.
As we continue on our journey to be an exemplary education facility management organization, we will stay focused on these principles:
We look forward to supporting our customers and the mission of Western Michigan University. We will do this in a respectful manner and challenge ourselves to continually improve our organization. The feedback from our campus community is important to us so please communicate with our team members as often as you can.
Regards,
