John Crouch, Executive Director for Facilities, and his team are responsible for facilities, engineering, security, biomedicine, emergency management and construction at the 169-bed hospital which includes 12 operating rooms. His team is embracing technology to help learn every aspect of the facility, conduct on-the-job cross-training, and accelerate problem solving in the field.

Using tablets and the ARC Facilities platform, team members appreciate equipment location mapping and the ability to stay current with building and equipment changes.

“With ARC Facilities, we’re always up to date,” said Crouch.

With just 42 team members including custodians, Moorpark's staff is responsible for the safety and well-being of 10,000 students. The campus occupies 156 acres and includes 800,000 square feet of buildings, multiple classrooms, and a teaching zoo on-site. Emergency responsiveness is a major concern. Since Moorpark has adopted ARC Facilities, teams can now provide police and local agencies with building plans, emergency plans, and info about shut-off and fire extinguisher locations.

For more than a century, Pomona College has served Californians - expanding to include about 150 acres, more than 80 buildings, with capacity for 1500 students living on campus. The college facilities team is using technology in the field to respond quickly to equipment maintenance issues for students and eliminate the need to rely on folks who’ve been there more than 25 years to help find shut-offs and other critical equipment.

Using tablets and the ARC Facilities platform, the Pomona facilities team can also respond faster to emergencies with building and equipment info easily accessible.

This small Tampa hospital is being renovated to benefit patients. Facilities responsibilities are handled by a small group of technicians, led by John Michaels, Director of Operations. In the past, all their building drawings were on paper, scattered in several places, so finding exact locations of building components was difficult.

Now, using the ARC Facilities platform, facilities information is organized, labeled, and is easy to share – improving emergency responsiveness, equipment maintenance and knowledge capture.

At MLK, the last two years have changed a lot with respect to disaster planning, disaster relief, pandemic planning, and contingency planning -- from earthquakes, floods,  and workplace violence. With the ARC Facilities platform, MLK staff have been able to have immediate access to fire extinguishers, alarms, and other emergency equipment information throughout the hospital- solving issues “real-time”.
