Planning & Construction: Facilities Needs Assessment: FACILITIES REPAIR & RENOVATION AUDITS

In March 2001 a Facilities Audit was conducted to ascertain repair and renovation needs of our existing facilities. The audit consultant performed a physical inspection of Cañada College, the College of San Mateo, and Skyline College; the following building/infrastructure systems were surveyed:

• Structural Systems
• Wall/Floor/Ceiling Systems
• Roofs/Building Envelope
• Mechanical
• Electrical/Life Safety
• Plumbing
• Vertical Transportation
• Architectural Finishes
• Access Controls

In addition, the following exterior areas were surveyed:

• Site Accessibility/Roadways/Parking Lots/Walkways
• Landscape/Athletic Fields

The physical survey was supplemented by a review of maintenance records, interviews with Facilities Department maintenance staff as well as College end-users.

A report was produced, in Excel format, qualifying and quantifying the repair and renovation needs of the existing facilities.
