Our Mission:
	Facilities Services acts responsibly as a steward of the buildings and landscapes of UC Berkeley; creates and sustains a beautiful and functional campus environment that furthers the mission of the University; and highly values our most important resource - our people.
	Under the Vice Chancellor - Facilities Services, more than 500 skilled professionals serve the campus to provide planning, design, construction, maintenance and real estate management services.
	Physical planning and environmental review
	Comprehensive general, environmental, and project planning services for the Berkeley campus are provided by the Physical and Environmental Planning (PEP) unit of Capital Projects. PEP is responsible for ensuring that the campus is in compliance with the state-mandated requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). PEP also manages preparation and implementation of the campus long range development plan. PEP has as its primary focus three broad areas: comprehensive physical planning; area/precinct planning; and program/project planning. PEP's planning professionals and planning support staff facilitate and coordinate the above services linking them to the other units in Facilities Services, to the campus as a whole and to external partners http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/PlanningPage2.html http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/CP/PEP/documents/CampusPlanningDocs.html
	Design and construction
	Activities related to the development and execution of capital projects - including new construction, retrofitting, restoration and landscape - are coordinated by the Project Management group in Capital Projects. This group brings together architects, engineers and related professional services, as well as the many and various construction contractors, needed to implement capital work on the Berkeley campus. Support services for capital projects, including contract administration and construction inspection, are also part of Capital Projects. http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/DesignPage.html http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/Projects_Info_Notices.htm
	Maintenance
	Maintenance services are provided to the campus by Physical Plant-Campus Services (PP-CS). PP-CS provides a full range of services including custodial and grounds support, building maintenance, pest management, recycling and refuse collection, and management of the utility infrastructure. PP-CS also manages the purchase and operation of energy resources and provides specialized engineering and technical services. http://physicalplant.berkeley.edu/home.asp
	Real Estate Services
	The Real Estate Services office (RES) is responsible for acquisitions, leasing, public-private partnerships, and management of off-campus real estate. Although most space for campus users is provided on campus, at times campus user’s space needs require leasing or acquisition of facilities off campus. RES negotiates leases or acquires property in situations where on-campus facilities cannot meet the University’s needs for space. In addition, RES manages a portfolio of properties owned by the University. RES is also responsible for licenses and easements for use of campus property. Finally, RES is responsible for structuring public-private partnerships between the campus and third parties, including donor developments where gifts of real property are built and donated to the campus. http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/reso
