Research and teaching asset register

Research and teaching assets are tangible or intangible resources owned or managed by University faculties and LSRIs that support research activities or the delivery of teaching services to faculty, LSRI and external customers.

They typically include plants, machinery, laboratory, scientific and teaching equipment.

The asset register enables:

• Increased visibility of assets, enabling wider connectivity within the research and teaching community and opportunities for collaboration.
• Improved capacity to record, monitor, and maintain research and teaching asset inventories.
• Improved reporting and analytical capabilities to support operational and financial planning (e.g. CAPEX planning).

Organisation

The asset register is searchable based on faculty/LSRI and department, as well as multiple asset information fields. Key information will be displayed by default for each asset.

Further information can be obtained by selecting an asset and viewing the associated tabs: Identity, operations, critical/risk, finance, sustainability and notes.

Relevant faculties/LSRIs 

At this stage, only the research and teaching assets for the following faculties/LSRIs are held in the asset register:

• Arts and Education
• Auckland Bioengineering Institute
• Engineering and Design
• Liggins Institute
• Medical and Health Sciences
• Science

The register is accessible to authorised faculty/LSRI users involved in asset maintenance, e.g. technical service managers, faculty asset and capex managers, technical managers and technicians.

Quick reference guides and training videos are available on the Research and Teaching Asset Management SharePoint site.
