FEA CEO John Edwards will present at the MD/DC APPA Fall Meeting on November 6, 2026, at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore.

MD/DC APPA is the Maryland and Washington, D.C. chapter of APPA, bringing together educational facilities professionals to share knowledge, best practices, and strategies for effective facilities management.
Connecting Facility Asset Management Planning with Institutional Goals
Campus master plans provide an important roadmap for future development, but they don’t always address the ongoing maintenance, repair, and renewal needs of existing facilities.
As buildings age, facility needs evolve, and budgets become increasingly constrained, higher education facility leaders must make informed decisions about where to invest limited resources.
During his presentation, John will discuss how facility asset management planning can bridge the gap between long-range campus master planning and day-to-day operational and capital decisions.
The session will explore how institutions can:
- Align facility investments with institutional goals and priorities.
- Integrate facility condition, functionality, and risk into capital planning decisions.
- Develop defensible, prioritized facility project plans.
- Use consistent metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure facility performance.
- Communicate facility needs and investment priorities more effectively to campus leadership.
By connecting facility data with institutional priorities, facility managers can move beyond reactive decision-making and develop a more proactive, sustainable approach to managing campus assets.
