University campuses are long-term assets — complex environments with buildings spanning generations of technology, construction standards, and research need. Capital sustainment is about more than maintenance; it’s about keeping critical infrastructure safe, operational, and fit-for-purpose for decades to come. Lucid works with universities across Australia to bring clarity to complex assets — delivering better visibility, lower risk, and upgrade strategies that balance continuity with long-term value.

University clients face compounding challenges: aging assets, fragmented documentation, reactive maintenance, and limited visibility of building performance. These gaps put service delivery, safety, and sustainability at risk — particularly across research-intensive and high-occupancy facilities. Without smart capital sustainment planning, institutions risk increased lifecycle costs, reputational risk, and service interruptions to teaching and research.
Lucid blends engineering insight with strategic asset thinking — simplifying complexity across campus-wide infrastructure. We start with a deep understanding of each asset’s condition, operational purpose, and risk profile — not just a checklist of faults. Our teams simplify complex systems into clear investment pathways, enabling universities to make confident decisions about maintenance, compliance, upgrades and end-of-life planning.
Lucid’s capital sustainment work spans strategy, analysis, design and delivery:
Capital sustainment is sustainability. By extending the life of core assets, reducing failure risk, and embedding smart energy upgrades, Lucid helps create tertiary environments that are safer, smarter and more efficient. It’s engineering that enables education to thrive — now and into the future.
