Buildings…The Gifts That Keep On Taking: A Framework for Integrated Decision Making, explores the need for a comprehensive asset investment strategy on campus. “Legislators like to dole out cash, make a big splash, put people to work,” according to the book’s primary author, Rod Rose, a strategic consultant with STRATUS, a division of Heery International.
In Leadership in Educational Facilities Administration, APPA’s Immediate Past President Christopher K. Ahoy shares the wisdom he gained while leading Iowa State University Facilities Planning and Management Department on a 12-year journey to becoming a world-class organization.
