DC Asset Management Lab at UDC Completes Pilot Course
October 2019 Course Focused on “Streetscapes – Including Potholes”​


The DC Asset Management Lab at the Univ​ersity of the District of Columbia Pilot Course successfully completed in summer 2019. 

A 4-week course titled “Streetscapes – Including Potholes” will begin in October 2019. 

The Pilot Course concluded with a Public Presentation that overviewed what was taught and highlighted student work. People from 22 countries observed the presentation live.

The Lab provides a problem from the DC Government and provides a safe environment to explore potential solutions using ISO 55000 to guide asset visualization using data securely shared on the web.

The Pilot Course started with improving planning of DC Public School Campuses. Through student suggestion, the Pilot Course also explored the planning of Public Restrooms that could be added to campuses, or anywhere else in the district. Public data from multiple sources were combined to generate visual representations “landed” on Google Earth, energy reports, cost reports, automatically generated asset inventories and other beneficial data analysis that assists strategic decision making.

One student, Stacey Tyley, Armed Forces Retirement Home Director of Real Estate Development, worked on the AFRH D.C. Campus for homework and presented her results at the Public Presentation. 

A recording of the Public Presentation and the segment focused on Stacey Tyley’s work is below.
