TEFMA Clever Campus Awards - CLOSED (until next year!)

The TEFMA CLEVER CAMPUS AWARDS recognise outstanding achievements of our membership community, including institutions, teams and individuals. 

The program aims to foster innovation and best practice in the higher education property and facilities management sector.

Whilst TEFMA has bestowed awards annually since the 1990s, 2017 saw the launch of a greatly expanded and more prestigious program, providing an opportunity for the sector to publicly acknowledge the commitment and dedication of many of those who work in higher education property and facilities management.

TEFMA’s program of ten (10) different awards and scholarships will provide sector recognition and professional development opportunities or recipients, both within Australasia and overseas.   

Click on the Quick Reference Guide for a quick summary of each TEFMA  Award and on the individual TEFMA  Awards to the left for more detailed information on each TEFMA Award.  Each winner of an Award will receive a Trophy, Certificate and Gift Voucher.
