Context
The Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is responsible for one of the largest and oldest school estates in France: more than 300 upper secondary schools, over 2,500 buildings and more than 4.5 million m² of floor area, spread across three territories. Having invested around €1.5 billion in those schools under its Plan Marshall for 2016-2021, the Region opened a second programme for the 2022-2030 period, extending the same regional policy to public and private upper secondary schools alike with programme authorisations of some €3 billion. Its property directorate set itself a clear objective before that programme started: to bring the estate's asset data up to date and hold it in one place, so that the schools, the territories and the regional decision-makers would all read the condition of the estate from the same reference.
Our solution
- 01 Collect and structure Gather and structure the asset data of the school estate across the Region's three territories, Auvergne, Rhône and Alpes.
- 02 Centralise 19 indicators Bring the knowledge held by the Region's own teams into a single frame of 19 asset indicators, so that schools in different territories can be compared on the same terms.
- 03 Map condition twice Digitise the estate in Simeo and map both the technical condition of components and their strategic condition against regulatory, energy and comfort-of-use stakes.
- 04 Identify priority schools Use the indicators to single out the schools whose profile justifies a priority action plan, and restitute the result in dashboards the directorate can communicate.
What Oxand delivered
A state 0 for the programme
One up-to-date reference for the estate, established before the second Plan Marshall started, so the programme is steered from a known baseline.
Consolidated knowledge of the estate
A consolidated view that makes the condition of the estate and the risks attached to it legible across more than 300 schools and three territories.
Indicators that communicate
Objective, shareable indicators for prioritising and arbitrating decisions, rather than each territory arguing from its own figures.
A basis for priority action
A defensible way to single out the schools that need a priority action plan, and to explain that choice to the schools that do not.
Questions about this reference
What estate does the work cover?
The upper secondary school estate of the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: more than 300 schools, over 2,500 buildings and more than 4.5 million m² of floor area, digitised in Oxand Simeo across the three territories of Auvergne, Rhône and Alpes.
What did the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes set out to do?
To establish the state 0 of its school estate before its second Plan Marshall began. The objective was to bring asset data up to date and hold it in one place, so that the schools, the territories and the regional decision-makers would read the condition of the estate from the same reference.
What is the Plan Marshall for the Region's schools?
It is the Region's own investment policy for its upper secondary schools. Around €1.5 billion was invested under the first programme, covering 2016-2021, and a second programme was opened for 2022-2030 with programme authorisations of some €3 billion, extended to public and private schools alike.
Why centralise 19 asset indicators?
Because the knowledge existed inside the Region's teams but was expressed differently from one territory to another. Holding it in a single frame of 19 indicators is what makes a school in Auvergne comparable with a school in Rhône or Alpes, and what allows performance to be reported on the estate as a whole.
Why map technical and strategic condition separately?
Because a component can be physically sound and still fall short of regulatory, energy or comfort-of-use objectives, and the reverse is equally true. Reading both makes it possible to identify the schools where the two together justify a priority action plan.
