Facilities Finance & Business Operations

With over $2 billion in facility assets, this team plays a critical role in analyzing and evaluating maintenance and repair history of facility assets, and prioritizing asset replacements for capital investment. The team works closely with our facility maintenance teams to assess asset reliability, conducting facility condition assessments and building audits when necessary. It also maintains space data, manages data acquisition and data fidelity of the fixed assets, and  manages drawings and documents, as well as the campus geographic information system structure (GIS).

All work requests from campus customers, follow-up on work order close-outs, and 24/7 monitoring of building automation systems and fire alarm systems happens here. The Customer Service Center also issues office keys to new faculty and staff.

The Facilities organization oversees approximately $50 – $150 million in annual spend, depending upon the level of major construction. This team ensures financial accuracy of our records, provides financial analysis and reporting, works with management to build budgets and ensure adequate controls are in place to safeguard assets. This team also supports the university capital budget process, prepares all capital financial reports, and ensures compliance to major capital spending guidelines.
