Hired as the hypothetical Facility Manager at "American Military/Public University Arena"

 

 

 

You have just been hired as the hypothetical Facility Manager at "American Military/Public University Arena" in Charles Town, West Virginia. The arena seats 65,000 and is used as a multipurpose facility to host events in college and professional basketball, football, and hockey. This is a newly structured arena. As the Facility Manager, you have been asked to develop a Risk Analysis Plan. 
Some type of creativity is required. Photos are required. These must be in color and embedded in the text. If you are not certain how to "wrap the text" around the photos I suggest you learn by researching the Internet and looking up tutorials to accomplish this task.
This paper will be evaluated for thoroughness in identifying risks and planning risk reduction strategies. Error on the side of providing "too much" detail rather than not enough. The final paper should be something you could actually use if you were out in the real world. This is supposed to be a Risk Analysis, NOT a report about Risk Management OR a report about a sport facility. Make certain you understand the difference! 
Required Format: You need to make certain that all of these are included to receive full points. Failure to include these items will result in a reduction depending on the quality. 
A. Title Page
B. Table of Contents. Should be organized and comprehensive.
C. Main Section 
1. Overview of the facility's operation (minimum of 500 words, approximately 2 pages) with a brief description of the following: 
a. What services are provided? 
b. If more than one type of facility exists what facilities are being analyzed (i.e., parking garage)? 
c. Who are the stakeholders? For example, type of personnel, number of spectators/participants, etc.
d. How many clients are serviced? 
e. Personnel used for risk management.
f. A minimum of five references, which must be done in the correct APA format and cited in-text where they are used.
2. Risk Reduction Matrix. This is the main part of the analysis. This section will usually include 1-2 pages of matrices the rest explaining the reduction techniques. Photos with appropriate captions are a requisite for this section (approximately 2-4 pages). 
a. Identify TEN (10) specific risks. These should be either risks you identified as facility manager, or those that you recognize will be there due to your knowledge gleaned from this class. Identify both a financial treatment and a reduction treatment for each risk in your matrix.
b. Your matrix needs classify each risk: Severity & frequency (high, medium, low)
