Sustainable facility management in higher education institutions has undergone profound transformation between 2020-2025, driven by climate urgency, digital innovation, and post-pandemic operational changes. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 197 Web of Science indexed publications to examine recent advances in campus sustainability across five critical dimensions: governance evolution, green building strategies, energy efficiency technologies, social sustainability, and climate action. Analysis reveals a paradigm shift from isolated environmental initiatives toward integrated, strategically governed sustainability frameworks. Key findings demonstrate that IoT-enabled smart campus systems achieve 34-70% HVAC energy reductions, while carbon neutrality commitments have accelerated dramatically with publications increasing threefold since 2020. The thematic analysis identified energy efficiency (57 studies), governance frameworks (56 studies), renewable energy integration (45 studies), and carbon/climate strategies (42 studies) as dominant research clusters. However, critical gaps persist between technical building performance and occupant satisfaction, with studies showing green-certified buildings failing to guarantee user comfort. The review identifies persistent challenges in Scope 3 emissions quantification, climate adaptation planning, and integration of social dimensions into facility management practice. Post-pandemic disruptions revealed building flexibility deficits while accelerating hybrid operational models and predictive control systems. The synthesis concludes that successful sustainable facility management requires synchronized advancement across technical infrastructure, stakeholder engagement, governance structures, and behavioral dimensions. Future research priorities include standardized benchmarking methodologies, longitudinal performance tracking, climate adaptation strategies, and integration of occupant well-being metrics into sustainability frameworks.
