SLUstainability complements the mission of Saint Louis University by promoting a campus community that engages in decision-making based on the dimensions of social justice, environmental stewardship and economic accountability.
SLUstainability supports, values and practices these dimensions to ensure that current and future generations have the opportunity to thrive.
Benchmarking
In pursuit of our goal of continuously improving campus operations at Saint Louis University, the Division of Facilities Services is committed to a benchmarking process that identifies areas of opportunity. By determining best practices in the higher education sector and comparing current methods, we can develop performance metrics and compile data to inform strategic decision-making for campus facilities and operations.
Strategic Planning
In Facilities Services, strategic planning is embedded in our culture and keeps us striving for excellence in all we do. We are intentionally shifting from being reactive to proactive to achieve operational excellence and contribute to the University's strategic success. To do this, we are developing the capability of our staff to be strategic, building a culture of involvement and executing towards measurable outcomes.
Sightlines
We work with Sightlines Consulting Group to assess our level of service, resource stewardship, staffing appropriation, and
facility asset management practices annually, comparing against their database of
institutions. Their Return-On-Physical-Assets (ROPA) process uses in-depth analysis
and benchmarking to evaluate performance, set targets and track progress across years.
