Our teams focus on ensuring the cleanliness, safety, and smooth operation of university facilities, infrastructure, and vehicles. We take pride in managing the university’s fleet to support transportation needs while providing dependable services that contribute to a welcoming, sustainable, and efficient campus for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

We offer daily rentals for staff and student groups, vehicle lease-to-own arrangements, and advice to departments looking to purchase and operate a vehicle at the University.

We oversee energy metering systems, handle utility data, and support initiatives for energy efficiency, including renewable energy projects on-site.
