In order to keep up with the growth and
ser-vices of the UCCS campus, the Facilities Services department has organized
itself into two primary areas; Planning &
Construction and Physical Plant Maintenance. The Planning & Construction team
is actively working major projects including the the renovation of the existing Science Bldg and Heller Property.
The Physical Plant team includes five
work groups; Maintenance, Grounds,
Electrical, Plumbing/HVAC, and Custodial. Their responsibilities include maintaining 890,675 square feet of General
Fund buildings along with 250 acres of
landscaped property. Our Facilities Services administrative team is the glue
that keeps our teams connected. Each
team is committed to the continued
improvement of the UCCS campus and
serving you.

Have you ever wondered where those beautiful flowers around campus come from? Many of them come from
the Facilities Services greenhouse. This little box of sunshine is located on the east end of campus by the
Campus Services Building and is maintained by the hardworking Grounds Crew all year long. If you were to
take a peek inside this greenhouse, you would find approximately 4800 flowers ready to flourish and bloom in
the sunlight. Many of these flowers include zalias, xenias, petunias, snapdragons, marigolds, and geraniums.
During the warmer seasons you will see these flowers popping up in many different campus locations. The
grounds crew works hard all summer long pruning these flowers and maintaining the flower beds so that the
campus is more pleasing to the eye. Next time you are strolling around campus, take a minute to admire these
beautiful pieces of nature. A big thank you goes out to the Facilities Services Grounds Crew (and their green
thumbs) for all their hard work!
