Caring for UC Davis buildings and landscapes requires balancing campus needs with available staffing and funding. To help us assess the level of service we are equipped to provide, Facilities Management uses industry-recognized standards developed by APPA, a professional association for facilities organizations. APPA’s standards provide a common framework for connecting resources to service outcomes—from cleaning frequency and landscape appearance to preventive maintenance and repairs. They help us set realistic expectations, explain service limitations and identify the resources needed to improve campus care.
Explore the pages below to learn how these standards apply to our grounds, building maintenance and custodial services—and what our current service levels mean for the spaces where you work, learn and gather.
