It is responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of the University buildings, grounds and infrastructure. It also supplies a wide variety of services (heat, water, gas, oil, and sewage) to the University, as well as steam heat to three local hospitals and most campus residences. It reports to the Vice Principal (Finance and Administration).
