Facilities is a service organization composed of four units that plan, construct, manage, operate and maintain the physical assets (buildings, grounds and utility systems) of the university. The mission of Facilities is to provide a physical environment in which staff, faculty and students can achieve excellence in teaching, learning, research and public service. The units strive to adhere to a set of core values including: a commitment to quality service delivery, positive customer communications, professionalism, teamwork, and environmental responsibility.

The Mission of the Physical Plant Division is to provide cost effective and responsive service for maintenance and operation of facilities, grounds, utility services, and other related support functions that support the instructional, research, and public service functions of the University of Kentucky. Physical Plant support services include maintenance and operation of facilities, grounds, utility services, minor renovations, and related services.

The Facilities Planning Unit of Capital Project Management Division is responsible for the orderly planning for the long-range development of the university campus. This is accomplished through continuous studies of the physical needs of the University and coordination of the planning and programming of physical facilities.Present and future facility needs are determined by working closely with the various instructional and administrative departments of the University. The Facilities Planning Unit assembles all requests and analyzes all plans for the expansion of facilities and other changes which affect the exterior appearance of the campus.

Medical Center Physical Plant offers a variety of services including, but not limited to: installing light fixtures, hanging pictures, repairing leaky faucets, controlling temperatures, moving furniture, and custodial services. We also do major renovation and construction.
