Facilities Management

Facilities keeps the institution’s built environment expanding efficiently and functioning smoothly. This entails overseeing the design and construction of new buildings, and the operation and maintenance of the existing infrastructure, such as providing utilities. Facilities coordinates a campus-wide sustainability program that stresses energy conservation and the lowering of the University’s carbon footprint.

Services

Contact facilities@mtu.edu for questions or comments.

Buildings

Our building mechanics handle repairs and preventive maintenance for the interior and exterior of buildings, and they act as liaisons between University units and Facilities for larger projects. For information on cost responsibilities, please read the policy for funded and non-funded services.

Custodial

Custodians clean and tidy offices, classrooms, restrooms, and hallways daily, “deep clean” during breaks, and do major housekeeping in the summer.

Grounds

Crews remove snow and ice, mow lawns, landscape, create and tend gardens, take care of signage, move furniture, and dispose of waste.

Trades

Tradesmen handle construction and renovation, carpentry, electrical work, and mechanical projects (such as plumbing and steam fitting).

Engineering

These professionals design, engineer, estimate, and construct all new facilities and handle all remodeling projects.

Transportation

Fleet Services manages a fleet of safe and properly maintained vehicles. As part of a green initiative, the goal is to go totally hybrid "one vehicle at a time."
