Facilities plan
Evaluates existing land, infrastructure, facilities and systems in relationship to the colleges purposes, plans, and needs, specifying the capital outlay projects necessary to meet these needs.

Facilities Planning Unit
The CA Community Colleges Chancellor's Office unit providing capital outlay and local assistance project support -- Assistance and support is provided for the construction and remodeling of new buildings and centers, the maintenance and repair of existing buildings and campus infrastructure, the removal of hazardous substances and the equipping of the colleges to meet divergent Statewide enrollment needs.

Facilities Tree
The electronic file structure provided throughout FUSION, COMET and IMPACT. The structure mocks Windows Explorer and is similar to a tree with a main trunk and branches off the side of the tree. The trunk is often called the "parent" and the branches the "children". The branches or children can have their own branches or children. This allows data to be rolled up to one child or to the parent for the overall view of information.

Facilities Utilization Space Inventory Options Net
FUSION is a web-based suite of tools to support the integrated management and reporting on California community college facilities throughout the state. This approach allows for a consistent, standardized approach to be used by all college districts and for improved efficiency for the districts as well as the California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) staff who responsible for review and approving district submissions and compiling information system-wide.

Facility Condition Assessment
An FCA is the detailed review of buildings to determine current and future capital renewal requirements. This review will list every deferred maintenance issue and include budgets for future deterioration. The assessment provides information about existing facilities: the size, use, performance, adequacy, and deficiencies associated with each building. A database filled with this information will include the cost to repair deficiencies, correct functional and performance inadequacies, and update facilities to current standards.

Facility Condition Assessment Level 1
A Level 1 (L-1) is a quick assessment based on a visual inspection of facilities and a review of the as-built drawings and other documents. The first phase of a L-1 evaluation is to develop mathematical cost models of all facilities. The facilities are then inspected to validate the data in the cost models. This is done because occasionally a modeled component shows it to be expired but it was actually replaced and not documented or the useful life should be shorten or lengthened. Finally, the facilities are walked to identify obvious deficiencies that are out of sequence with the component’s useful life (i.e. roof leaks in a new roof, broken windows, unconditioned air in a particular room etc.).

Facility Condition Assessment Level 2
A Level 2 (L-2) assessment is a detailed visual inspection of facilities. It is a thorough and complete inspection that categorizes and logs every deficiency over a certain amount, typically $500. The first phase of a L-2 involves a complete walkthrough of the facilities. The deficiencies are cataloged at every level, from the room level to system-wide and even campus wide-deficiencies. Corrections for these deficiencies are determined and priced, and estimates are generated. With this data, the assessors then enter the cost modeling data for every major building system, including exactly where the component is in its life cycle.

Facility Condition Index
An FCI represents the ratio of the cost to correct a facility's deficiencies to the current replacement value of the facility. For example, if a building's replacement value is $1,000,000 and the cost of correcting its existing deficiencies is $100,000, the building's FCI is $100,000 ÷ $1,000,000; that's 0.10 or 10 percent. The larger the FCI, means poorer condition of the facility. General industry guidelines are: 0 - 5% is good; 5.01 - 10% is fair; and greater than 10% is poor. An FCI uses as the basis for analysis an FCA.

Facility Utilization Standards
Facility Utilization Standards are used to help assure that the three segments of higher education use their facilities with a reasonable degree of efficiency. Utilization standards specifiy the amount of time an instructional station (typically a desk in a classroom or a work space in a teaching laboratory) is occupied and in use
