Maintenance + Cleaning on Campus

Creating a friendly + welcoming campus

Guided by University of Alberta’s Integrated Asset Management Strategy and Facilities Management organizations such as APPA (formerly the Association of Physical Plant Administrators), the team behind the university’s maintenance and operations help to create a safe, accessible and welcoming environment on our campuses to support the core aspects of our mandate: education, research and community engagement.

Navigating priorities for a multi-campus institution

With five campuses in multiple locations across Edmonton and Alberta, the U of A relies on its comprehensive evaluation and metric systems to plan, prioritize and delegate work—ensuring our maintenance and operations teams are maximizing their time and focusing on what is most important for the university.

Using key metrics + evaluating trends

By using key metrics and evaluating trends, operations and maintenance is better able to prioritize needs. Always focusing on emergent issues, the team then utilizes data to further minimize safety risks and costly impacts to the university community.

Our shared responsibility — working together to maintain our campuses

By working together we can ensure that our campuses continue to be friendly and welcoming for our whole community. Please do your part to keep our campuses usable and clean.
