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.
For submissions or questions, please email communications@vpfo.ubc.ca.
