| 3 Data Management Mistakes | How to Better Support Your Facilities Management |
This concept provides details to support 3 specific areas of data mismanagement and ways in which they can be avoided: supporting data collection, data management within enterprise systems, and leveraging existing data for impactful decision-making. As we explore these applied theories, specific examples will be used to showcase where resources were conserved, projects had fewer points of failure, and information was streamlined to support Texas Tech University's larger campus goals. |

Advancing Higher Education with Modern Mapping Technology
|
As key facility staff retire, so does the intuitional knowledge of the underground workings. Today, a digital utility atlas of the underground network is crucial to campus succession planning. By mapping below ground with geospatial technologies, such as ground penetrating radar, institutions can understand what lies beneath. In this session, we'll discuss the importance of using modern utility locating and remote sensing mapping technology to build a complete record of buried facilities. |
DGT Associates and Pepperdine University |
| Asset Management with Pepperdine University and Fugro |
The collaboration between Fugro, a global geospatial company, and Pepperdine University, a private university in Southern California, to create a digital twin of the university's campus. We will cover the data collection and processing methods for our aerial lidar, photogrammetry, and GIS analysis. The benefits of having a digital twin of the campus will be highlighted, improved asset management, enhanced safety and security planning, and the ability to simulate and optimize campus operations. |

| Beginning a Campus GIS Program from the Ground Up |
Many facility managers know they need GIS for their campus but don't know where to begin. This presentation looks at all of the factors to consider when starting from scratch and considering what costs may be involved. We'll explore different approaches for starting a campus GIS ranging from those starting with a 'rice and beans' budget to those who just won the lottery. In addition we will look at some ROI examples that you can share with decision makers to help communicate the value of GIS. |

| Cats vs Dogs: Comparing Technological Strategies for Modeling your Campus |
A comparison of technologies- what to use when? What are you getting out of each method? There's so many cool technologies out there but sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what you can use it for, or if 1 method can really replace all of the others. Drone vs 360's, 360's vs still image for construction, CAD vs GIS, Revit model in GIS vs Drone Deploy 3D model in GIS. This presentation will provide examples of these comparisons and what we've learned from trying out both methods for the same project. |
