While all units of campus have considered how they can contribute to this goal, the Facilities Management Department is central. The facilities at Michigan Tech University are first rate. They are attractive and well-maintained.
New facilities are at various stages of planning, design and construction.
There is a Campus Master Plan, last updated in 1993, that has been followed for 35 years. Michigan Tech is seen as a benchmark for maintenance costs. It should be noted that there are no formal targets in the department for maintenance costs, just to keep them as low as possible. Much of the maintenance is performed by personnel located at building sites and no paperwork or records are kept of small work orders. Detailed tracking of response times are not kept.
