June 13, 2003—VFA, Inc. has performed an extensive facility condition assessment of the Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan campuses at St. John’s University. St. John’s joins VFA’s list of higher education customers that recognize the value of proven asset planning strategies to help operate facilities at optimal levels while coping with budget constraints.
VFA’s software and assessment services will enable St. John’s to maintain its academic and housing buildings as a competitive asset, as well as accomplish long-term facilities goals.
The data gathered during the assessments, which encompass approximately two million square feet of space, is maintained in VFA.facility, VFA’s capital planning and asset management software. With VFA.facility, St. John’s can access and maintain accurate information across all of its buildings in one central repository, enabling the University to identify repair and maintenance priorities.
University officials can use VFA.facility, which is embedded with RS Means cost data, to create multi-year capital plans for long-term facility investments. Additionally, VFA’s software and services enable St. John’s to determine recurring lifecycle costs associated with furnishings and establish capital budgets for maintaining its residence facilities at a competitive level.
