Facilities Management

Big ideas need places to thrive. Facilities Management cares for the buildings, landscapes and infrastructure where the UC Davis community lives, works and puts ideas into action.

As an operating unit within Finance, Operations and Administration, we bring skilled trades, technical expertise and customer service together to meet the changing needs of the campus. From responding to maintenance requests to planning for the future, we combine everyday care with strategic planning and innovation to advance the university’s mission.

Our work depends on strong relationships with our customers and colleagues. We build trust by listening, sharing ideas and helping one another succeed. We welcome thoughtful debate, challenge established practices and find common ground to improve how we operate sustainably and use university resources responsibly. Through it all, we stay focused on why we are here: supporting the people and activities that make UC Davis a place of discovery, learning and service.
