MSBO Facilities Benchmarking Report
For eight of the past ten calendar years, MSBO has published this facilities benchmarking report for use by business and facilities managers to compare their costs and practices to the universe of school districts in Michigan. This year’s report also includes comparison data from each of the previous reports illustrating effects of changes made over time.
Benchmarking is a process used by many organizations to evaluate their performance by comparing themselves within their industry in a number of categories. Using benchmarking data, internal goals and objectives are set to match the best results in each category. As each segment of the organization is benchmarked, progress toward those goals is measured and the entire organization benefits.

University of Michigan Plant Operations Work Management
The Plant Operations Call Center (POCC) receives requests from campus in a variety of forms – by phone, fax, email, the internet and directly through our Facilities Management System. In addition to our central responsibility of communication, Work Management is responsible for the distribution of all estimate requests. Coordination and notification of Building Equipment Shutdowns is also handled by Work Management. Our Project Coordination efforts continue to grow as customers become accustomed to this service and we continue to support coordination for a variety of projects throughout Plant Operations. The Preventive Maintenance (PM) Planning program is another major responsibility of Work Management which also continues to grow as numerous items are added to the program. Finally, our Quality Assurance Inspection program, which was initiated in recent years, supports Plant Operations effort to continually improve our services to the University of Michigan community.
Facilities maintenance management practices in large public schools, Texas
The purpose of this paper is to present previous studies and reports which have shown that most school buildings in the USA suffer from inadequate physical conditions. As American school buildings become “older”, it is essential for every school district to have an effective facilities maintenance management plan of its facilities. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to identify and analyze how facilities maintenance is planned, managed and carried out by large public schools in the State of Texas, USA.

Maintenance and Capital Planning Best Practices
The MSBA has instituted many reforms to make the MSBA’s school construction and renovation grant program more effective, efficient, and user-friendly for school districts and to ensure the long-term viability of the program. A vital component of these reforms is to protect the over $20 billion investment in school facility construction and renovation projects throughout the Commonwealth in the past 25 years, through active and on-going maintenance of school facilities by the school districts. Accordingly, the MSBA has adopted criteria based on industry best practices as a prerequisite for MSBA funding and for the determination of the allocation of maintenance incentive reimbursement points on eligible projects. As part of the initial discussions with a school district that has filed a Statement of Interest (SOI) with the MSBA, the district will be asked to submit documentation that demonstrates that the district is actively performing routine and capital maintenance to its school facilities. The following information describes the activities and practices that the MSBA believes are best practices and are part of a strategy for maintenance and capital planning and budgeting to ensure the long term operation of school facilities.
Planning Guide for Maintaining School Facilities: School Facilities Maintenance Task Force
As America’s school buildings age, we face the growing challenge of maintaining the nation’s education facilities at a level that enables our teachers to meet the needs of 21st century learners. Facilities issues arise at all educational levels, from prekindergarten through postsecondary, and at all sites, from classrooms to administrative offices. Challenges arise in new and old facilities alike, although the types of concerns may differ.
Because routine and unexpected maintenance demands are bound to arise, every education organization must proactively develop and implement a plan for dealing with these inevitabilities. A sound facilities maintenance plan helps to ensure that school facilities are, and will be, cared for appropriately. Negligent facilities maintenance planning can result in real problems. Large capital investments can be squandered when buildings and equipment deteriorate or warranties are invalidated. Failure to maintain school facilities adequately also discourages future investment in the public education system.
