The Auditor General of Newfoundland and Labrador has released a performance audit report on Memorial University’s Facilities Management. The report identified multiple issues with Memorial’s management of its infrastructure. These included the absence of policies, procedures, or oversight to ensure the appropriate use of student-funded campus renewal fees; building maintenance not being performed at appropriate times; and a growing footprint alongside a decreasing student population. The report includes nine recommendations, all of which have been accepted by Memorial. “The recommendations from the auditor general are consistent with work that has been ongoing recently and we will continue to seek innovative approaches to address infrastructure challenges,” said Memorial President Dr Neil Bose.
