Overview

Two modern buildings and sidewalk
Facilities management is a dynamic field that requires leaders to apply strategic thinking, foresight, and strong communication skills to ensure the vitality of the institution's physical assets. Though the organization of the facilities unit may vary greatly between institutions, their facilities consume significant financial, human, and other resources. 

NACUBO's Facilities Management self-paced online course is designed to offer foundational knowledge and insight into one of the largest administrative units and largest assets operated by colleges and universities. This course features content from NACUBO's core reference manual, College and University Business Administration, and explores facilities topics deemed of most value by subject matter experts.

This course includes the following modules–

  1. The Facilities Organization
  2. Facilities as a Capital Asset
  3. Planning
  4. Building and Space Management
  5. Operations and Maintenance (O&M)

Each of this course's five modules should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and 0.2 CPE credits are available per module upon successful completion. In its entirety, the course should take 50-75 minutes to complete and will offer 1 CPE credit upon successful completion. Complete the course at your own pace–one module at a time or in one sitting.
