Facility Management

The discipline of facility management and the role of facility managers are evolving; many managers, today, have to operate at two levels: strategic, and operational. At the operational level, the role of a facility manager is to ensure proper operation of all aspects of built facilities to create an optimal, safe and cost effective environment for the occupants. At the strategic level, owners need to be informed about the potential impact of their managers’ decisions on the provision of space and services. The Certificate in Facility Management covers a body of knowledge that includes the management of business processes, people, and technological and knowledge resources to ensure the functionality of the built environment and achieve strategic objectives for organizations.

The first course within the certificate, Foundations of Facility Management, will be offered in February 2012 and will be aligned with IFMA’s nine FM competencies.
