ABSTRACT
Integrated facility management is the strategic integration of place, people, and process within the built environment through information, technology, and best practices to improve the life cycle performance of space, productivity, service quality, and value. It involves going the extra mile to ensure that every facility available for use is properly catered for and readily available for use. An ideal classroom should not only be safe for every student, but also encompass all the required infrastructures. In recent times, most citadels of learning lack the adequate learning environment necessary to encourage learning processes, leading to unsuitable learning conditions. These challenges can be traced to a lack of maintenance, which involves servicing, routine inspections, repairs, and maintenance of worn-out parts. Maintenance engineers are tasked with applying engineering concepts and practices to optimize equipment, procedures, and departmental budgets to achieve better and sustainable maintainability, reliability, and availability of equipment. This research offers a multimodal strategy to improve the efficacy and efficiency of classroom maintenance procedures through a thorough analysis of existing approaches and difficulties. Several facets of integrated facility management are examined in the study, such as technology use, asset management, and preventative maintenance plans. Through the implementation of suggested solutions, this research investigates integrated facilities management for classroom maintenance with the goal of maximizing resources, improving learning environments, and assisting students in achieving their academic goals, while presenting a practical example of how to properly maintain a classroom facility.
