The Facilities Weekly is distributed by email each week on Tuesday. It contains a summary of the news and events to help team members and colleagues across all the Facilities departments be informed of issues and situations they need to know and/or would help them do their job.
This is an archive of past editions so you can catch up on the latest in Facilities.
Additions or questions can be sent to facilities@vpfo.ubc.ca.
