Maintenance & Small Capital Projects

Just as your home requires ongoing care and maintenance, so do our buildings on Campus. Physical Plant Services is responsible for planning and completing major maintenance and building and equipment renewal to keep our buildings safe and working well. Our team of engineers, project managers and trades work hard each summer and over the school year to implement this work with as little interruption as possible to teaching, learning and research activities. Below are some examples of the larger projects we have completed or have planned for campus!
