Innovations in Technology and Management Models – Facilities Program Transformation at Chicago Public Schools

January 16, 2025
Time: 1:00 pm

Join Healthy Schools Campaign and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for a facilitated discussion of CPS’s multi-year facility operations transformation and how it drives the district’s pursuit of certification under the Healthy Green Schools & Colleges standard.

Gain insights into the facilities management team’s decision to shift from an Integrated Facility Management Model to a Hybrid Engineering and Custodial Management Model within Chicago Public School’s 600+ building district, including how these transformations enable CPS to deliver cost-effective, high-quality, and reliable facilities services.

This webinar will also feature a discussion of how technology is being integrated into daily facility operations and management at CPS and an exploration of how CPS is utilizing the Healthy Green Schools & Colleges Program to center its commitment to practices that protect the health of students, staff, and the environment.
