Purpose
The Department of Facilities Management is responsible for ensuring that the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of all University facilities and grounds support the academic, research, and administrative functions of the University, while balancing financial and technical constraints with aesthetic and historical concerns.
In Providence the University owns and maintains 236 buildings, totaling approximately 6,800,000 gross square feet. In addition to the operations, maintenance and repair of these existing facilities, we are responsible for the planning, design, and construction management of renovations and new facilities.
