The Facilities Services department is committed to providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for UofG students, colleagues, and visitors on campus.

Our services encompass property repairs and maintenance, transport, cleaning and waste management, grounds and landscaping, and operation of our extensive energy, water and drainage systems. 

The Campus Security team is highly trained and equipped to respond to emergencies and ensure the safety of everyone whether on campus or travelling on university business.

Our Compliance team works to meet safety regulations within the estate and provides guidance to colleagues on operational and construction safety matters. They also support specialist areas, including fire safety and asbestos management.

Specialist professional staff offer expertise in engineering, surveying and the management of our contracted services. 

In the coming months, we will be working with colleagues across the University to ensure ongoing improvements to our services.
