Facilities Team

The Facilities Management Department (FMD) strives to deliver a top-tier customer experience while ensuring that the campus environment is clean, safe, and well-maintained. Our department is responsible for the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and repair of university facilities and grounds, and consists of 11 critical and interdependent support teams:

Campus Planning

Campus Planning designs and develops the physical spaces essential for CSUMB's academic mission. We collaborate closely with campus and community stakeholders to transform the campus and former Fort Ord into a vibrant, thriving community. Our work is guided by three core sustainability tenets related to physical space: placemaking, stewardship, and partnership.

Space Planning

Space Planning allocates and tracks all spaces within state-owned facilities. This includes working with departments to better utilize existing spaces in line with state standards. This team also oversees the procurement of signage and furniture (including ergonomic furniture).

Design

The Design team manages architectural services for all renovation and new construction projects. The University Architect oversees major and minor capital project design, ensuring overall campus development aligns with the Master Plan, SUAM, ADA, and all regulatory building codes and guidelines.

Construction

Our Construction team provides leadership and support for the construction phase of capital projects. We review plans and constructability, provide initial estimates, facilitate agency approvals and implement Chancellor’s Office policy and procedures for construction administration of projects. The team also acts as a liaison between campus, Chancellor's Office, and external participants to successfully complete projects.

Maintenance

Maintenance staff work daily to maintain the campus's academic and classroom facilities. Our team is made up of multi-skilled, multi-talented trades personnel with experience in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, metal working, and more.
