The Facility Science Blueprint

Introduction

The Facility Science Blueprint prepares professionals for leadership roles in facility environments. Our modular approach to facilities management education and training keeps you at the forefront of industry best practices.

Grounded in real-world applications, the Blueprint integrates with existing facility operations and the experiences of seasoned professionals. The program provides knowledge across critical areas such as maintenance management, environmental health and safety, project management, and data-driven decision-making within the facilities management field. Participants can choose from role-specific modules tailored to high-demand positions or pursue the core curriculum for a holistic understanding of facilities management principles.

The Facility Science Blueprint is structured into three key components:

Core Modules: 16 foundational modules covering essential aspects of facilities management applicable across all facility types.
Role-Based Modules: 7 specialized modules providing targeted guidance for specific roles within the facilities management team.
Specialty Modules: 9 advanced modules addressing specific facility types and functions.

This structure allows facilities to implement core principles, provide targeted professional development, and customize their approach based on specific industry needs or advanced requirements. Whether you’re managing a healthcare facility, educational institution, or industrial complex, the Facility Science Blueprint offers a path to operational excellence and career advancement in facilities management.

Core Facility Science Blueprint Modules

Role-Based Facility Science Blueprint Modules

While the Facility Science Blueprint provides a framework for facilities management, we recognize that different roles require specialized focus and skills. We’ve developed role-specific modules that build upon the Blueprint’s foundation to address this.

Each module is designed to:

Highlight the most relevant components of the Blueprint for that specific role
Provide role-specific best practices and tools
Offer targeted training and development paths
Explain how the role interacts with and supports other roles within the Blueprint framework
These role-based modules ensure that every team member, regardless of their responsibilities, understands how their work contributes to the facility’s success. They provide a clear path for professional development and help create a cohesive and efficient team.
