Date: 9/1/2015

Educational institutions that master new technologies will have an edge in the increasingly competitive higher education landscape. They will better serve learners and support instructors, and they'll make smarter use of limited resources and advance the safety and sustainability of the institution. APPA's 2015 Thought Leaders report discusses the factors related to integrating technology and the campus built environment; using technology to enhance critical campus functions; and integrating facilities management and information technology. New technology will require new skills and new approaches to day-to-day tasks. The result will be a new campus for a new era, which will need to address the following needs: Restructuring the facilities management organization to effectively integrate new technology Crafting policies that enhance facilities/IT integration Creating successful facilities/IT integration Preparing the facilities professional of the future Imagining the IT/facilities integration of the future: where we are going The report includes a contextual introduction, a comprehensive section on using technology to enhance key campus functions, questions for further discussion, a lengthy resource section, and a list of participants.
