Innovative SPACES

Facilities Management

Facilities is managed and maintained by Campus Facilities. University Housing strives to create and maintain spaces in our residence halls that directly support the department’s mission and the overall goals of the university.

Specifically, we realize how important living spaces are for our residents. That’s why we seek to provide them with a safe, clean, functional, and healthy environment for their academic, personal, and interpersonal success.

Each hall or complex has dedicated custodial and maintenance teams to maintain the space and address any issues that may arise. We also have other staff that are responsible for specific trades throughout all the halls/complexes. Ultimately, we pride ourselves on quick responses to issues and daily efforts to maintain the halls.

Finally, as the culture and behaviors of residents change over time, we also seek to adapt and provide current solutions to their living and learning needs.
