Consider having a Physical Plant architect work for Residential and Hospitality Services (RHS) a portion of the time to standardize processes for construction and renovation regardless of whether the building is academic or residential in function.

Feedback:

• Desirability:
  • Yes on the standardization pieces. It is not necessary to embed Physical Plant employees in RHS or vice versa.
  • Yes – experiences in processes need to be shared
• Feasibility:
  • The embedding part is not in this committee’s purview.
  • The standardization can be easily done. In the current process, there are really very few divergences, one from the other (that is, some of this consolidation has already occurred over recent years).
  • The department heads of both units affected need to decide on the impact this will have and move forward if able.
