September 17, 2007—ARCHIBUS, Inc., a leading developer of Total Infrastructure and Facilities Management (TIFM) solutions, announces the successful adoption and implementation by the City University of New York (CUNY) of its ARCHIBUS Space Management, Overlay for AutoCAD, Building Operations Management, and Work Wizard applications.
The applications have helped CUNY collect and centralize data from 20 urban campuses to such a degree that the university has increased cost recovery by up to 37% from grants for research and other space utilization overhead, says Deborah Lott, CUNY’s Associate Director for Space Management.
The ARCHIBUS applications are being used to manage the building maintenance and space management needs of CUNY, which has 20 campuses, more than 300 buildings, and 26 million square feet of facilities space serving 450, 000 students and faculty.
Over a period of several years, Lott has been eliminating multiple, stand-alone databases and applications used by CUNYs campuses to manage facilities. They have been replaced at most campuses by an ARCHIBUS implementation that centralizes system-wide facilities and space management information as well as establishes standardized maintenance procedures and programs.
