RESEARCH & SURVEY



The Center for Facilities Research (CFaR) was established in 2002 by APPA to organize and consolidate research in facilities management issues. The mission of CFaR is to advance the body of knowledge of facilities management through research, discovery, and innovation. To accomplish this mission, APPA invites facilities professional to conduct small- and large-scale research through CFaR.
