VA Roseburg Healthcare System, Roseburg, OR
zLink implemented the zLinkFM Integrated Workspace Management System (IWMS) for managing space utilization, reporting on the Capital Asset Inventory (CAI), and creating a repository of As-Built drawings to support maintenance and regulatory compliance. A survey of the VA Roseburg Healthcare System facilities was done to create an accurate set of drawings and space utilization database. VA Roseburg HCS comprises over 750,000 sq. ft. of space. After the field verifications and CAD work was complete, all the drawings were polylined by zLink so that accurate square footage could be calculated after uploading them into zLinkFM.
