A growing backlog of deferred maintenance can create a vicious cycle. As assets deteriorate, there are more system failures and more costly repairs. Organizations continue to fall further behind, delaying capital improvements for more immediate needs. Recruitment and reputation suffers.
Careless design decisions and unforeseen inefficiencies in your buildings — big, small, old and new — can quickly spiral out of control, which affects performance and drives up cost. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
The days of the one-size-fits-all approach to healthy eating are behind us. In previous years, consumers have focused on weight loss as the motivator to eat healthy, but a recent poll revealed that 40% of consumers are focusing on maintaining balanced diets rather than completely cutting out specific foods1. While “low-fat,” “low-carb,” and “fat-free” are still staples in some diets, today’s definition of healthy has broadened, and the focus is now on individual consumer preferences, nutrition needs and personal wellness.
Environmental risk is a bigger problem on today’s campuses than most higher education institutions realize. Behind beautiful and often grand structures and grounds lie aging buildings, equipment and infrastructure.

To avoid a public relations nightmare and substantial fines, campuses need a proactive environmental risk action plan that includes identifying risks, remediating issues and creating long-term improvement and preventative strategies. Discover how an outsourcing partner with proven experience simplifies and expedites these tasks, reducing the potential for environmental risks.
