Individual Project
Goal: The individual project intends to create student awareness of the many Facility Management
issues and to provide you the opportunity to focus a literature search on uncovering and elaborating
one aspect of facility or property management. The topic for this semester is technological advances
and their impact on managing facilities. These could include new technologies used by Facility and
Property Managers and how they affect staff and new ways of working for the entire organization
technologies – those to look out and prepare for in planning facilities. These topics are currently being
discussed by Facility and Property Managers worldwide and are important current topics for additional
research. Please select one specific technology and explain facility/property management implications
from/on your selected technology. Examples might be Building Automation Systems, Building
Information Modeling, security technologies, the Internet of Things, or a specialized technology that
could be used in FM/PM.
Your written report should discuss a particular area of technological advances in the workplace or
facilities. Oral presentation of the essential information is also required, as described below.
