Publications

APPA offers an extensive collection of resources designed to help the facilities professional keep abreast of trends in the field, enhance your performance, and grow professionally.

Facilities Manager is published by APPA, the leading authority on educational facilities management.  Eighty-seven percent of readers rate it as one of the top three must read industry publication and eighty-three percent of these facilities professionals read the magazine regularly.

Our Bookstore features many titles on facilities management as well as popular books that promotes leadership.  Also available is the Facilities Management Manual that since 1984, facilities professionals have relied on for guidance. The manual is structured around the four core areas which are the foundation of the Institute for Facilities Management.

Inside APPA is APPA’s bimonthly e-newsletter with nearly 6,000 readers depending on Inside APPA for timely industry news and events.

Buildings…The Gifts That Keep On Taking: A Framework for Integrated Decision Making, explores the need for a comprehensive asset investment strategy on campus. “Legislators like to dole out cash, make a big splash, put people to work,” according to the book’s primary author, Rod Rose, a strategic consultant with STRATUS, a division of Heery International.

In Leadership in Educational Facilities Administration, APPA’s Immediate Past President Christopher K. Ahoy shares the wisdom he gained while leading Iowa State University Facilities Planning and Management Department on a 12-year journey to becoming a world-class organization. The book examines leadership styles, types of people in an organization, and the importance of mission and vision statements.
