Abstract
The paper investigates the barriers to the implementation of sustainable facilities management practice in higher institutions of learning. An integrative literature review was conducted to identify the barriers associated with the implementation of sustainable facilities management practice in higher institutions of learning. Findings from the literature reviewed thus far indicate that the lack of knowledge, senior management commitment, time and financial constraints, and lack of capability are major barriers to adopting and implementing sustainable facilities management. However, there is acute scarcity of relevant information for the local context. There is a need to address the barriers of implementing sustainable facilities management principles in higher institutions of learning. Especially in the local context, there is a need for empirical studies for adequate comparison and specificity of results. The paper will be informative on the current barriers of implementing sustainable facilities management practice in higher institutions of learning, and provide a strong basis for empirical research in this area.
