Facilities Activation

Facility Activation Management is a unit within Facilities Planning and Development (FPD), and is responsible providing construction support and activation management services for all Michigan Medicine facilities.

Activation is the process of planning and implementing the relocation of people and equipment, and preparing facilities for moving and startā€up. It is a complex process where the health, safety, and care of patients is the highest priority and where systems must be operational and fault-free on move day to safeguard a cost-efficient and smooth transition in newly built or renovated facilities.

Facility Activation Managers (FAMs) manage the activation activities of project team members, track project progress, communicate deviations and coordinate adjustments to the activation schedule. They assist with problem resolution to keep all projects moving toward successful completion
Activation team members include, but are not limited to:

Additionally, FAMs provide construction support services for UM Construction Services projects. They schedule project meetings and punchlist walkthroughs, and distribute project schedules, meeting minutes and other important project documentation. They track contract related processes and share responsibility for quality assurance to ensure that all project materials are installed and completed in accordance with project specifications.
