This Self-Assessment evaluates your perspective on the extent to which your institution has the key factors in place that are necessary for the Facilities Department to pursue and achieve efficient operations, enhanced learning, and healthy, green schools.
Select the response that best reflects your first reaction. Try not to overthink your answers - there are no right or wrong answers.
Because the assessment is designed to identify factors that may be limiting progress on achieving efficient operations, enhanced learning, and healthy, green schools, your responses may feel overly negative. That's okay! Your responses help us point to the best program resources to begin making progress.

Upon completing the assessment, you will receive a resource guide that includes a score based on your responses. This score helps to identify the greatest areas for improvement regarding your institution’s current capacity to support change, and points you toward specific recommendations based on your responses to help overcome the challenges identified.
