Buildings, Grounds and Maintenance
On Jan. 13, Land, Buildings and Real Estate (LBRE) launched a complete redesign of its website, which now reflects a major organizational restructuring following the appointment of Robert Reidy as Stanford's first vice president for land, buildings and real estate. The new LBRE site, http://lbre.stanford.edu, is designed to allow for easier navigation—enabling visitors to the site to learn more about LBRE's entire organization, its responsibilities to the university and the services it provides. Highlights include a documents library, a comprehensive staff directory and active capital projects, as well as many other resources.
The new site features 10 separate departments within LBRE, consolidating the original departments of Capital Planning, Land Use and Environment Planning, Project Management and the University Architect/Campus Planning and Design office. The site also has new entries for Finance, Heritage Services, Maps and Records, and Real Estate. Additionally, it reflects the reorganization of the former Facilities Operations division into two separate areas: Buildings and Grounds Maintenance, and Sustainability and Energy Management.
The campus community is particularly encouraged to familiarize itself with the new Buildings, Grounds and Maintenance website, http://bgm.stanford.edu. It features a specific section for the most common types of users and the information most relevant to them. Another section lists quick links for popular transactions—such as work requests—and for ongoing construction, updates and shutdown notifications. The site's design also allows it to better interface with the university's financial system.
The BGM site replaces http://facilities.stanford.edu, the online face of Facilities Operations for the past eight years. The site is heavily used by event planners, campus homeowners and project managers at Stanford—as well as independent contractors—as a portal for a wide variety of information, updates and work requests.
