Educational Session 1: Beyond the Master Plan: Aligning Institutional Goals, Asset Management, and Capital Planning
Campus master plans provide an important roadmap for future development, but they often do not fully address the ongoing repair, renewal, and operational needs of existing facilities. As buildings age, change in use, and face increasing demands, facility leaders need a more comprehensive and repeatable approach to planning and prioritization. This session explores how facility asset management planning can bridge the gap between long-range master planning and day-to-day operational and capital decision-making. Participants will learn how to align institutional goals with asset condition, functionality, and risk considerations to develop a defensible, prioritized program of facility projects. The presentation will also highlight the value of consistent metrics and key performance indicators in improving facilities performance and communicating needs to campus leadership.
Presenter: John Edwards, FEA
John Edwards is the CEO of FEA, where he leads large, complex projects for institutional clients focused on facility asset management, capital planning, and long-term portfolio optimization. In this role, he fosters a collaborative culture centered on strong client partnerships and a deep understanding of organizational goals, operational needs, and long-term priorities. John’s professional background includes service as a U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps Officer, where he held roles as a commanding officer, installation public works officer, and regional facilities executive, managing diverse facility portfolios and complex infrastructure programs.
Please note this is a replay of this summer’s session due to technical difficulties.
Educational Session 2: Geothermal HVAC Systems and Decarbonization
