Deferred maintenance has long been a nemesis for facility managers in K-12 schools. A recent report confirmed just how dramatic the gap remains.
Building intelligence provider Gordian recently published its 10th edition of the State of Facilities in Higher Education report, which revealed a growing gap in deferred maintenance while also showing an increasing shortfall in the cyclical replacement or refurbishing of assets at the end of their useful lives.
Some key takeaways from the report include:
Gordian compiled the report by evaluating more than 52,000 higher education facilities that represent 325 North American campuses. The facilities represent 3.5 million students (about twice the population of Nebraska) and 1.5 billion total square feet of campus space.
