C. Progress Towards Achieving Board Ends and College Strategic Directions
C.1 Vision and Mission (Policy A-05) (cont’d)
As outlined in the external audit report on the College’s Corporate Health and Safety
Management System (CHSMS) presented March 2012 to the Board of Governors by WESA
Inc. Environment, Health and Safety Services (EHSS) will develop an action plan to
implement the recommendations for improvement identified in the report and to develop and
implement a transition plan to migrate the CHSMS auditing tools to meet the requirements
of either the OHSAS:18001 or CSA:Z1001 standard.
College emergency planning will continue to be a focus in the upcoming year. College
Emergency Plans and Guidelines will be developed for regional campuses and centres and
overall College preparedness, response and recovery will continue to be assessed and
continuously improved upon vis-à-vis annual lock-down drills and real-life simulation
(“Exercise Merlin”).
Facilities Operations and Sustainability will be reviewing opportunities for and advancing
and implementing strategies to further the College’s sustainability and stewardship initiative.
The College will hire its first sustainability coordinator and work to achieve a bronze rating
from the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) from the
Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) on or
before March 2013.
Facilities Management will continue to develop and improve its facilities information
management system (VisionFM), and its asset management/capital planning system (VFA),
through implementation of: project management and capital planning modules to better
manage multi-year capital budgets, funding sources and project expenditures for fiscal
accountability and future planning/forecasting; the timesheet module to benchmark, monitor
and report on staff resource requirements for project planning and implementation; and
integration between VFA and VisionFM systems to link capital asset management planning
with integrated facilities operations.
In 2012/13, Facilities Management will undertake the process to review and update the
College’s Campus Master Plan for London and the College’s facilities condition assessment
and comprehensive energy/sustainability audit for the London and Regional Campuses.
Facilities Management will also complete the College’s Comprehensive Certificate of
Approval - Air and Noise process currently underway with the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment for the Regional Campuses.
Efforts will continue to review, plan and implement facilities developments and strategic
property acquisition consistent with the College’s Long-Term Facilities/Properties Plans and
Campus Master Plans in support of the College’s strategic directions and the SEM initiative.
The Office of the Registrar in collaboration with Facilities Management will begin to develop
a service model and related facilities requirements, based on best practices in student
service. This model will guide the future development of the Office of the Registrar facilities
and service provision to our students, future students and all stakeholders. This long-term
project aligns with SEM initiatives and the development of coordinated, self-help services
across the College and will drive the future service provision and roles of our staff.
