Facilities and Physical Space Initiative

About this Initiative

This initiative brings together executive leadership across the three accountable divisions to assess recommendations, make improvements and take coordinated action to address the significant renewal challenges on our campus. We will deliver a transparent and aggressive renewal strategy. We have divided the efforts into three areas: transparency and communication, process improvement and resource strategy.
