About the Office

Campus Planning and Facilities Management (CPFM) has three primary responsibilities. The first two include the successful operation of Facilities Services and of Utilities and Energy Management. The third is as liaison between The University of Texas at Austin's academic and administrative units and The University of Texas System's Office of Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC). OFPC is the contractor for major construction projects for all UT System component institutions. CPFM facilitates the successful delivery of these projects to The University of Texas at Austin's campuses.

Facilities Services is responsible for management of existing facilities on all of the university's campuses. These functions include: architectural and engineering services for renovations, building maintenance, landscape services, custodial services, recycling programs, and various shop functions consistent with all aspects of maintaining the buildings and grounds for the university.

Utilities and Energy Management is responsible for all utility services at the university's main campus. This department is focused on a very aggressive energy management program and generates all of the power used on campus, operating a cogeneration facility with a peak load capacity of 95 megawatts. The department includes mechanical and electrical distribution shops and several chilling stations.
