Case Study: The Ohio State University improves facility planning and capital budgeting with FOS of CannonDesign

The Ohio State University assesses 17 million sf with FOS of CannonDesign

The Ohio State University partnered with FOS of CannonDesign to conduct a comprehensive facility condition assessment across its vast and diverse campus portfolio. The challenge was to accurately assess the condition of facilities ranging from historic structures to complex modern complexes and to understand the associated deferred maintenance needs and capital renewal liabilities.

FOS of CannonDesign implemented a tailored assessment approach, leveraging their FOScore® platform and a dedicated team to efficiently collect and analyze data. The solution was highly collaborative, incorporating the invaluable knowledge of the university's own facilities staff. As a result, the assessment discovered that previous methods had greatly underestimated campus deficiencies, enabling the university to recalibrate its capital budgeting to more effectively and proactively meet its facility planning needs.
