Leading experts on education facilities and design will share insights to help school owners and operators maximise their investments on capital infrastructure at the forthcoming Building Future Education (BFE) MENA
exhibition and conference in partnership with Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) on October 25-26, 2011 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
"In an economic market where organisations now look at capital assets with a longer-term vision, we need cost-effective ways to respond to change and the new opportunities capital infrastructure stewardship has to offer,"
said Jason Fournier, associate principal and education market leader for AECOM in the Middle East. Fournier will jointly present a paper on Integrated Service Delivery: Maximising Asset Value with Guy Robinson, AECOM’s Middle East director, Program, Cost, Consultancy, at the region’s leading education exhibition and conference.
AECOM’s presentation will examine how an Integrated Service Management approach can help educational organisations take advantage of these new opportunities in asset management by having the right tools and skills
needed to design, deliver and manage differentiated services over a dynamic infrastructure.
Formed from some of the world’s leading consultancies, AECOM is a collaborative community of design, engineering and construction professionals. AECOM offers leading education services that cover virtually every aspect of educational institutional facility development, from initial economic market research and master-planning through design to project management, commissioning and delivery.
AECOM’s impressive portfolio of education projects in the region includes Zayed University; UAE University in the United Arab Emirates; Royal College of Surgeons and AMA University in Bahrain; and Education City and
Qatar Science & Technology Park in Qatar; among others.
"Maintaining and protecting assets is essential for educational facilities to provide an environment conducive to learning and to effectively deliver services. AECOM’s expertise in educational facilities design and master-planning will help administrators and owners maximise their capital investments," said Andrew Pert, Regional Director of UBM Middle East, organisers of BFE MENA 2011, which has the theme "modernising education to create tomorrow’s workforce."
