Administrative history

Physical Plant Services, formerly known as Campus Engineering Services, was established in 1995. In early 2021, it was rebranded as Facilities. 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).
