Abstract
Management of facilities is an interdisciplinary feature of company that coordinates room, infrastructure, individuals and organization. The application of facilities in higher learning institutions is still to be totally researched on and that is the reason why this research was embarked upon to assess the application of facilities management practices in Covenant University. The study was conducted using questionnaire and interview. A total of sixty-two (62) questionnaires completed by academic staff of the College of Science and Technology were analyzed. The facility manager in the Physical Planning and Development Directorate of Covenant University was interviewed. Findings from the analysis showed the benefit of adopting facilities management principles in Covenant University as proactive maintenance, improved health and safety, good and neat environment, quality services and functional buildings. Likewise, the study identified facility management tools used in Covenant University as asset tracking and register, estate operational plan, costs benefit analysis, energy use auditing and control and performance analysis. The study went further to recommend additional facilities management tools that should be appropriately deployed in the University.
