Building a stronger Facilities team
The Facilities leadership team has been working to improve clarity of purpose internally within our Facilities departments and externally with the UBC community, on delivery of our facilities development and operations services to enable students, faculty, and staff to excel in their work at UBC. This starts with internal alignment and the importance of integrating departments into one Facilities team to re-position how we present ourselves to the campus community.

Making the campus a better place
Today, we welcome students back on campus, and we are seeing them in full force. I encourage you all to take a moment to reflect on your contributions and the impact you have in creating this space for students, faculty, and staff. This is why we are here, and this is our purpose. Every day, we provide and sustain the physical environment for teaching, learning, and research for over 58,000 students and over 6,000 faculty members.
