2025 Facilities and Building Management Seminar

The ACUI Facilities & Building Management Seminar is designed for professionals managing their campus facilities and building operations oversight. Grounded in best practices in facilities management, this seminar offers attendees the opportunity to learn and gain the insights needed to enhance the efficiency, safety, sustainability, and facilities planning of their campus facilities. The focus of this program traditionally is how to manage the physical facilities and operations of a building, but this year, we are hoping to incorporate aspects of building operations such as how to manage student learning/training, personnel, and aspects of building operations. 

The seminar will include a combination of keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and behind-the-scenes tours of a variety of spaces. Participants will have the opportunity to network with industry experts, corporate partners, and fellow attendees. 

Schedule

Please note that as tours and activities are planned, there may be shift in timing to accommodate travel to different Boston institution and tour sites. The schedule is subject to change.

The Southline Boston 

Southline has a long legacy of groundbreaking work. Home to the Boston Globe headquarters for over 50 years, it’s a place where history continues to be made, over and over again. Southline Boston is not your standard glass office. With over 750,000 square feet of lab space, offices, retail, and more, it’s a true campus with a trendy, industrial feel that’s equal parts energizing and relaxing. Take a walk along the waterfront trails, get inspired in the indoor atrium, and become the next in this building’s long legacy of breakthroughs—it all happens here. 

John F. Kennedy Library & Mueseum 

Located on UMass–Boston’s campus, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is dedicated to the memory of the 35th President of the Unites States and to all those who through the art of politics seek a new and better world. Located on a ten-acre park, overlooking the sea that he loved and the city that launched him to greatness, the library stands as a vibrant tribute to the life and times of John F. Kennedy.  

Massachusetts Institute of Technology 

MIT will be hosting us during the afternoon, which includes tours, lunch, and educational sessions on Tuesday. During our visit to here, you’ll have an opportunity to visit a variety of buildings and the CAC Stratton Student Center.
