Summary

This e-book celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of Facilities. It includes commentaries by key players, not only in relation to the evolution of Facilities, but in the evolution of facilities management. Facilities management in its modern form is almost unrecognizable from its original manifestation. The term has become almost synonymous with outsourcing in the commercial sector. It is hoped that the future of facilities management will recognize the role played by both academic and commercial research, and that Facilities will be a key messenger in disseminating this research resource.
