Facilities Performance Indicators Report 2010-11: Tracking Your Facilities Vital Signs
APPA: Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers
APPA's Information and Research Committee's goal for this year was to enhance the survey and report tools by making them both more navigable, user friendly, and accurate. Significant progress has been made with all of these initiatives. APPA also automated many of the internal processes for the survey and report, which resulted in a better quality product that can be delivered faster and with more accuracy. APPA will continue to make improvements based on participant feedback. New report enhancements for 2010-11 have been included and are detailed in the following sections of this report: (1) Charts and Graphs; (2) Detailed Data Reports; (3) Excel File Reports; and (4) Online Presentation Reports. "The Facilities Performance Indicators Report" is designed for survey participants, interested professionals, and serious researchers who want to mine the data. The Report includes the following features, among others: (1) A comparison of any or all within a cohort group, including cohort averages in the data summaries for those that are a part of a private cohort group; (2) Simultaneous display of significant data and ratios and measures for all selected institutions and overall and group averages; (3) The capability to read and/or print/download the whole range of 2010-11 reports contained in "The Facilities Performance Indicators Report," including institution-by-institution tables; (4) The capability to view all numeric report figures in chart form; and (5) The ability to export the calculated information and survey entries to Microsoft Excel or other software for additional studies. The purpose of APPA's Facilities Performance Indicators is to provide a representative set of statistics about facilities in educational institutions. "2010-11 Performance Indicators Survey Participants" is appended. [For "Facilities Performance Indicators Report, 2008-09", see ED517062.]
