A7000 Capital Asset Quality

Policy Statement

The College recognizes our buildings and grounds as critical capital assets that significantly influence the academic environment and overall student experience.  As such, it is essential that we ensure all of our capital assets meet the highest quality, safety, and sustainability standards.

To achieve this purpose, and strengthen the public’s trust in our stewardship of the College’s capital assets, we will implement a unified set of capital asset infrastructure standards and processes aimed at managing our capital assets in ways that optimize accessibility, safety, functionality, inclusivity, sustainability, efficiency, durability, resilience, and viability.  By doing so, we will preserve the public’s investment, potentially increase the life cycle for our capital assets, and ensure the aesthetics of our buildings and grounds are optimized for student learning and student engagement.

To these ends, the College’s VP of Administrative Services is directed to develop, implement, assess, and continuously improve the College’s capital infrastructure assets to: Ensure a safe, sustainable, and inclusive campus environment – one that fosters academic excellence and student success; meets all stakeholder needs and expectations; supports the achievement of college goals; and exceeds industry standards identified by the Association of Physical Plant Administrators (APPA).
