Case Study: College of DuPage strengthens long-term facility planning with FOS of CannonDesign

College of DuPage - Customer Case Study

College of DuPage partnered with **FOS of CannonDesign** to better understand the condition of its multi-campus, 1.9 million square foot portfolio and use that insight to improve long-term maintenance planning. The college needed a comprehensive **facility condition assessment (FCA)** to identify deferred maintenance, capital renewal needs, and remaining service life across major and minor building systems.

**FOS of CannonDesign** delivered the FCA using a tailored, three-team field approach that assessed nearly 2 million square feet of buildings and parking lots in just one week. The team aligned its data collection with the college’s existing inspection worksheet, documented deficiencies with cost estimates, and presented the findings to the board of trustees—helping the college build budgets, prioritize projects, and support a funding request with actionable long-term planning data.
