Harvard Real Estate Services

Overview:

ARAMARK performed a facilities condition assessment to serve as a strategic planning tool that guided the allocation of funding. ARAMARK's technical professionals created a unique, customized assessment for each college within the university, designed to help achieve its specific goals.

The team worked together to plan and assess the condition of the campus and determine a strategic course of action in an effort to assure long-term sustainability. ARAMARK brought its unique analytical perspective, benchmarking resources, and strategic methodology to drive overall facility performance and resource optimization.

Highlights:

The ARAMARK team identified all architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and safety systems on campus requiring attention and funding. A customized database tracks all observations online, including a graphic depiction of the observations based on system and priority.

By categorizing and prioritizing all recommended corrective actions using customized criteria, ARAMARK created a working on-line tool that allows the various facility groups the ability to provide plans that form the basis for short-term and longer-term renewal forecasts and capital plans. ARAMARK developed correction methods with estimated costs to focus attention and funding to appropriate areas.
