Decisions Have Consequences
Cheaper is Seldom Less Expensive

Typical Costs for New Projects over the First 10 Years of Operations:







Planning and Design Costs
Construction Costs
Utility / Energy Costs
Operational Costs
Total
1%
11%
17%
71%
100%
Space costs a lot to construct, but much more to operate and maintain
Beware the term “Value Engineering” during Construction
 Cheaper Building Systems and Materials leads to Higher Maintenance and
Operational Costs
 Consider Lifecycle Costs before making decisions during construction

Lifecycle-Based Decision Making
Focus on the Big Picture: People and Politics Change

QUESTION: At how many of your organizations are Facilities Design &
Construction, Maintenance / Operations and Utilities / Energy Costs all
different departmental budgets?

RESULT:





FD&C - Spend little as possible on projects, save capital for other projects
Maint / Ops – More robust quality to save Maint & Ops budget spend
Accounting just pays the bills and logs spend for each department
Departments only concerned with their own responsibilities
SOLUTION: All departments work together toward a common goal
connected to the Institutional Vision. Be Collaborative and Inclusive.

Lifecycle-Based Decision Making
Focus on the Big Picture: People and Politics Change

How might things be different under these two scenarios?
A. Longstanding Leadership planning to retire over next few years…
B. New Leadership planning to make a name for themselves…





Faculty and Curriculum also change over time
New ground-breaking researcher requires $10M Custom Lab fit up
New Faculty requires oversized office
“The Squeaky Wheel gets the oil”… approval of projects to silence those
who complain the loudest
“Full Moon Syndrome”… crazy requests

Decision Making should be based on priorities and contribution to Vision

Space Allocation Challenges
Dealing with “Space Hoarders”
 PROBLEM: Shell space or other underutilized areas loaded with old
furniture, equipment, supplies, departmental records… things not in use,
but not yet decommissioned or discarded
 SOLUTION:
1. Identify what belongs to whom
2. Conduct a meeting with representatives from each affected department
3. Establish categories for everything in the space




Things that can be sold, consigned or returned to vendor for credit
Things that can be donated or have enough value to be hauled off for free
Files that could be stored offsite, or are old enough to be destroyed
Things that have no value and should be discarded
4. Establish a deadline for each department to take action on their items- and tell
everyone you will have everything remaining hauled off on deadline date
5. Call Waste Removal Service to haul everything that remains on deadline date

Space Allocation Challenges
Dealing with “Squatters”
 PROBLEMS:
 People occupying offices that belong in cubicles
 Departments making unauthorized moves into unoccupied spaces
 Departments “claiming” rights to “their” space… “that room was always ours.”

SOLUTIONS:
 “NIP IT IN THE BUD”
 The longer people are allowed to occupy space that they shouldn’t be in…
the harder it is to remove them.
 Establish Space Standards and Policies where none exist already, and adhere
to them as closely and as quickly as possible
 Spread the Word… “Space” is an asset that belongs to the Institution or
Organization, not to the person or department that claims it first

Decisions Have Consequences

Should we build new or renovate existing?
 What are initial vs. long-term costs?
 How well will the building function?

How much longer should we keep using this building?
 At what point does it become a “money pit”?
 Is the structure sound enough to renovate?

Should we own or lease?
 How long do you plan to be there?
 What is your cash flow?

Informed Space Decisions require a Solid Foundation
 Projects must advance an organization toward strategic goals
 Take everything into account… initial and long term costs / considerations
 Benchmarks, standards and policy make space decisions easier to manage
Copyright UTMB Health & HKS, Inc. 2013
12
Institutional Vision
Space Standards, Policies and
Benchmarks
 Tie space management to strategic
plan, mission and vision of
organization
 Policy is basic foundation for all
work with space management
 Executive buy-in is important
 Space standards are imperative to
move toward equitable space
assignment
 Benchmarks are important in
establishing guidelines and
standards

Space Standards based on Benchmarks
 Research - $300 direct expense/


Healthcare – varies, based on


Office Space – Facilities Steering
Committee-Approved standards for

Translating Mountains of Data
Into Useful Information
The Annual Process:
 Conduct Annual Space Survey
 Prepare Annual Space Report
 Conduct Space Assessments
 Compare to Metrics/Targets
 Conduct Gap Analysis
 Determine Space Utilization
 Determine Facility Condition
 Develop Action Plan
 Develop Capital Requests
 Make Policy Adjustments
 Start again

Institutional Vision and Space Management
Hurricane Ike
Over 1.2 million square feet of campus damaged
Some space will never be returned to service
Logical policy for ground floor usage
Recovery After the Disaster
Must have a plan
Business Continuity primary focus

Summary
What you should take away
from this Session:




Buildings cost MUCH more to
Operate and Maintain than to
Construct
Focus on the “Big Picture”… link
decisions to Institutional Vision,
Strategic Goals and Objectives
Data Management is essential…
Develop the right Systems and
Processes for your organization
