1. Managing Space The Chisholm Institute experience Presented by: John Thomson Facilities Manager Chisholm Institute of TAFE

3. Managing Space “Set the scene” Space Management at Chisholm January 2002 $6.5m recurrent budget across 7 Campuses and 3 leased properties No concise property / facilities portfolio available No accurate electronic floor plans available No Institute Facilities Master plan available No Strategic Plan available No consistent Institute wide timetable approach / package available No consistent room numbering and naming system across all 7 Campuses No concise fixed plant and equipment database available No energy management systems connected to fixed plant and equipment

4. Managing Space The current approach at Chisholm 2002 => 2010 Managing Building Performance - Conduct “condition audits” - Conduct “compliance audits” - Conduct “DDA audits” - Conduct “OH&S audits” - Conduct “environmental audits” - Conduct “post occupancy audits” Institute Master Plan / Strategic View -Provide purpose built facilities to meet needs -Retrofit existing buildings to meet the needs -Dispose of or, demolish obsolete building stock

5. Managing Space Process to address Chisholm 2002 position Scope the shortfalls in the portfolio data Audit all Institute space - owned & leased properties Create an electronic Facilities database. Develop a Facilities Master plan 2002 => 2010 Develop a triennial capital development plan for 2002 =>2005 Facilities Department involvement in Institute Strategic Plan Implement Aperture Facilities Database incorporating all space requirements Implement an environmental policy for capital works and service contracts Create a Facilities risk management database

Development and implementation of “capital charge back” for space

10. Managing Space Budget for Space management 2002 => 2003 One example from the strategy Most Institutes want “space management" processes to be sustainable. When is there enough $’s to perform all the Facilities related activities?
