About Facilities Management

Mission

Facilities Management is entrusted with the development, care, maintenance, and operation of Colorado State University’s physical properties.

Our purpose is to create and sustain environments that support CSU’s land-grant mission, fostering the success of students, faculty, and staff through world-class academic, research, and outreach programs.

Vision

Facilities Management is committed to taking care of the people who work, learn, and grow within CSU’s spaces, ensuring their well-being and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.

We provide safe, mission-centric, sustainable, and cost-effective spaces that preserve CSU’s sense of place while building trust through partnership, expertise, and continuous improvement.

Core Values

Safety

Integrity

We behave in an honest, fair, and ethical manner. We display consistency and transparency in our words and actions. We model high standards of ethics. We do what we say we will do.

People-Centered Service

We place people at the heart of everything we do—those who learn, work, and grow in our spaces, including our fellow FM teammates. Our commitment is to provide responsive, thoughtful, and solution-driven service that supports the success and well-being of all we serve.

Courage

We face challenges and make difficult decisions with strength, even in the face of uncertainty.

Innovation

We embrace creativity, new ideas, and continuous improvement to solve problems and move forward.
