Facilities Management

We are professionals dedicated to our mission "to preserve the campus facilities while creating and sustaining an environment that will attract, keep and support the best and brightest students, faculty, and staff."

We are responsible for maintaining 300 acres of land and more than 2,000,000 square feet of property in 40 major buildings. The oldest building was built in 1852, and the oldest house in 1733.

There are approximately 130 of us working in various crafts such as cleaning (night and day custodial, housekeeping), building trades (painting, carpentry, locksmith, electrical, hvac, plumbing), as well as on the grounds, the botanic garden and the stockroom. We speak eight different languages and have 21 people with more than 20 years service. Our office staff handles over 18,000 telephone calls per year and we respond to over 12,000 service requests.
