Sustainability in Facilities Management at Colorado State University
Mission Statement
The Facilities Management Department is committed to quality competitive service. Our mission is to anticipate and provide the physical environment, which enables Colorado State University to achieve its objectives in instruction, research, and public service.
Facilities Management and Sustainability
Facilities Management is the department charged with managing the physical aspects and daily operations of a larger system known as Colorado State University, in order to reach its overarching mission: to set the standard for public research universities in teaching, research, service and extension for the benefit of the citizens of Colorado, the United States, and the world. Due to the key role in upholding that mission, the department is committed to projects that conserve resources in order to create a more sustainable campus and community.
