Facilities Performance Indicators (FPI)
Analyze. Compare. Improve.
How does your campus compare?
FPI is the only benchmarking program built specifically for educational facilities — decades of peer-comparable data on custodial, maintenance, grounds, utilities, and administration, collected from institutions across North America every year.
