Whether you are interested in working with us or you are interested in learning more about Facilities Management, I hope you find the information on this web site useful.

Facilities Management has over 600 dedicated employees, who coordinate campus master planning, manage design and construction, maintain and clean the buildings and the grounds, and provide utilities and energy management. Thanks to our talented workforce, UI’s Facilities Management has been nationally recognized and locally appreciated. However, it does not end there; we have embraced an ambitious set of strategic initiatives that address the challenges ahead of us.

This is an exciting time to be on our campus. The work we perform and the services we provide have enormous impact on the University of Iowa experience. Our continuing goal is to make the on-campus experience a special one for those who live, learn, work and visit every day.
