Facilities Management cares for the campus that makes Dickinson's teaching, research, and residential life possible.
We maintain and improve the college's buildings, grounds, and infrastructure, run them efficiently and sustainably, and provide dependable, respectful service to everyone who relies on them.
Our Goals
Communication & Service — Keep people informed, respond promptly, and follow through, so the campus can count on us.
A Strong Team Culture — Build a workplace of respect, accountability, and good humor, where staff are supported, safe, and proud of their work.
Sustainability & Resilience — Protect Dickinson's carbon neutrality, keep cutting energy use, move toward fossil-fuel-free operations, and prepare the campus for a changing climate.
Health, Safety & Emergency Preparedness — Keep the campus safe and healthy day to day, and stay ready to respond when something goes wrong.
Stewardship & Innovation — Manage the campus like a major asset, with good data, long-term planning, and steady reinvestment.
Our Values in Practice
Compassion — Treat the people who use our spaces and the people who maintain them with the same respect, and fix what affects someone's day because it matters.
Curiosity — Stay interested in better ways to operate, and treat the campus as a living laboratory connected to teaching and learning.
Equity — Make our spaces accessible to everyone and keep every part of campus to a consistent standard.
Integrity — Do the work well whether or not anyone is watching, follow through, and be honest with the college's resources.
Tenacity — Stay with the slow, essential work, from deferred maintenance to decarbonization, especially when it's hard and goes unnoticed.
