BUILDING OPERATIONS LAUNCHES ITS STRATEGIC PLAN
Building Operations’ mission is to proactively and cost-effectively manage the operations and maintenance of all assets on campus, to create enriching and inviting inside and outside spaces.
Our mission supports the Vice President, Finance and Operations’ five-year action plan, which in turn dovetails into UBC’s vision to inspire people, ideas, and actions for a better world.
In the fall of 2018, a cross-section of employees from Building Operations took the initial step of creating and developing five strategies that support our mission:
- Customer Experience
- Employee Engagement
- Asset Stewardship
- Leadership Development
- Innovation
Strategic teams were then formed to develop action items under each of our strategies. While we will hold some actions until 2021, for the next three years Building Operations will focus its efforts on accomplishing the actions outlined in this handbook, generally:
- Successfully implementing an Enterprise Maintenance Management System (EMMS).
- Enhancing Building Operations’ values and culture.
- Ensuring the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees.
Building Operations consists of many business units providing a wide variety of services to diverse clients. Our next step will be for each business unit to use this handbook to create detailed plans for each action so we can advance collectively to success.
This journey will not be for the faint at heart. There will be many challenges along the way. But we will accomplish this while improving our customer’s experience by using UBC’s values to guide us.
I look forward to working and growing with you as we tackle these challenges and do our part to make UBC become the world’s choice to pursue excellence in research and learning.
