26 - 28 April, 2017 | Novotel Sydney Central, Sydney, Australia
Murray Gray
Property Manager
University of Otago
2:20 PM INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY: Reviewing Otago University’s Flexible Property Portfolio
Otago University’s $1.6 billion property inventory is
constantly changing to reflect the evolving needs of
the real estate, through building development, land
purchases or leasing arrangements. This is achieved through a strategic asset management plan, which
provides an operations strategy for the entire campus
but also focuses on each individual asset.
This session will discuss:
- Establishing the need for a new rebuild rather than altering an existing structure in order to reduce costs in the long term
- Refurbishing the whole of a facility versus a piecemeal approach that often occurs in practice
- Identifying assets for disposal or demolition
- Owning versus leasing – what is best?
5:35 PM Rapid Asset Acquisition and Release
- Discussing the appropriate life-cycle length of a university asset
- The benefits of leasing university assets for noneducational purposes
- The key indicators of a commercially viable real estate purchase
