Facilities Management coordinates commissioning services for all of the University's Capital Projects, ensuring that operations and maintenance teams are engaged in projects as early as possible to enhance their input and understanding of each building and its systems. Facilities Management has been involved with the commissioning of all the Capital Projects listed below which encompass 13 new buildings:

  • School of International Service
  • Cassell Hall
  • Nebraska Hall Addition
  • 4401 Connecticut Ave (WAMU)
  • McKinley, School of Communications
  • Washington College of Law (Tenley Campus)
  • The East Campus Expansion

In addition to capital projects, the Facilities Management Staff performs in-house commissioning efforts on Capital Reserve and Deferred Maintenance (CRDM) and other university projects. 17吃瓜在线's commissioning program will continue to grow by integrating retro-commissioning and ongoing commissioning into planned maintenance activities. Retro-commissioning is commissioning of existing facilities that weren't initially commissioned when built.
