Facilities and Operations provides services to all five of the University of Alberta's campuses, which encompass 1.5 million square meters of gross floor space.
The portfolio is comprised of five units including: Ancillary Services; Operations and Maintenance; Planning and Project Delivery; Utilities; and the University's Office of Sustainability, which is a joint oversight with the Office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic.
Facilities and Operations provides direction and leadership on a variety of areas including long-range campus planning; energy management; buildings and grounds maintenance; utilities; energy management and sustainability programs; residence services, conference services, real estate and commercial property management; and ONEcard.
The University of Alberta has been working towards creating a sustainable campus for decades, long before words like “sustainable” or “green” were part of everyday language.
It’s the latest innovation in green waste management, and the U of A has the distinction of being the first in Canada to purchase it: a solar-powered trash compactor.
