About the Office of Facilities, Planning, and Management:
The Office of Facilities, Planning, and Management is at the forefront of Ball State University’s tradition of innovation and their long-standing commitment to sustainability. Their mission is to provide safe, well maintained, highly functional, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable buildings and grounds which support the broader mission of Ball State University. The AVPFPM will be guiding an office of highly experienced and dedicated professionals who take the responsibility of stewardship and service to the Ball State community seriously.
As an esteemed public institution, Ball State has had their top capital priorities funded for years. Intelligent and proactive financial management has allowed the University to continue to have annual operating surpluses. The University has completed $600M of construction projects in the last ten years, and $300M in building endeavors in the last five years. Annual deferred maintenance is far less than seen nationally in most institutions because the State of Indiana prioritizes and contributes to deferred maintenance annually.
This commitment allows the new AVPFPM a unique opportunity to guide a University that is well-situated to invest in strategic priorities, as evidenced by the extensive construction at the University in the last five years. Major construction projects that have been completed include three phases of STEM facilities, including the new Foundational Sciences Building, the new Health Professions Building and the renovated Cooper Science Building. Additionally, the Brown Family Amphitheater, the Scheumann Family Indoor Practice Facility, and the James Lowe East Mall have all been successfully completed. Other exciting facility developments that are currently underway are the renovation of the Estopinal College of Architecture, and renovations on the Music, Art, and Theatre buildings for the College of Fine Arts. The AVPFPM will also be a key voice in planning the upcoming renovation of the Bracken Library and Learning Commons.
As a community-engaged institution, Ball State University is internationally recognized for mobilizing and leading partnerships that revitalize and sustain the city and region around Muncie, Indiana. Most recently this includes a plan to revitalize the neighborhood known as The Village to invigorate a more vibrant and dynamic environment that will connect the BSU campus to downtown Muncie. This multigenerational district will be driven by arts & culture, entertainment & innovation, with a new select-service hotel, new dining, retail, service, living and gathering options and will feature a new performing arts center. The AVPFPM will have a critical role in Ball State’s commitment to this development in strengthening the economy of Muncie and simultaneously retaining the talented students who graduate from BSU.
Ball State continues to be both revolutionary and responsible, having created the nation’s largest ground-source, closed-loop district geothermal energy system. Additionally, Ball State’s Transportation Services proudly utilize Biodiesel, E85, and hybrid vehicles on campus, while Landscape Services is responsible for maintaining the campus Tree Nursery. The Office oversees several areas including Administrative Services, Engineering, Operations, Construction Services, Transportation Services, Facility Planning, Landscape Services, and Custodial Services.
