1 Penn Compact 2020 builds on the past decade of progress we have made in advancing the University of Pennsylvania. It is a far-reaching vision that outlines next steps to increase access to Penn’s exceptional intellectual resources; integrate knowledge across academic disciplines with emphasis on innovative understanding and discovery; and engage locally, nationally, and globally to bring the benefits of Penn’s research, teaching, and service to individuals and communities at home and around the world.

2 UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA FACILITIES & REAL ESTATE SERVICES BI-ANNUAL REPORT FY2014­–FY2015 The physical manifestation of the Penn Compact is the Penn Connects campus development plan – an exciting blueprint for the campus adopted in 2006. Penn Connects 2.0 builds on In review... that comprehensive strategy and reinforces the University’s sustainability objectives. Over the last decade, Penn has added 27.25 acres of new open space, 6 million sq. ft. of new construction, and 2.4 million sq. ft. of renovation, representing a total commitment of public and private investment of $3.8 billion. Bringing to life the vision of the Penn Compact falls in the most tangible way to us in Penn’s Facilities and Real Estate Services. The Division provides the expertise, business practices, policies and standards required to plan, design, construct, operate, maintain, and renew the physical assets of the University. Through these actions, our staff members across all departments impact the ability of the University to meet its goals in teaching and scholarship, medical research and clinical care, living and learning, and campus and community. I invite you to view this FY2014–FY2015 Biannual Report as an account of the collaboration between FRES and our colleagues in the EVP division and in each of Penn’s Schools and Centers. I also direct you to videos of how Penn’s campus has been transformed, by honoring its history while creating a vibrant, innovative, and sustainable urban university for the 21st century and beyond. Sincerely,
