About Us
The Department of Facilities Management and Planning works with the campus community to help UMass Lowell achieve its mission by providing a highly functional, attractive and safe campus environment. We ensure that the physical campus environment — comprising 43 buildings with diverse uses and 100 acres of open space and parking lots — meets the educational and research needs of the University today and in the future.
Key Responsibilities:
- Planning: Guiding and supporting the evolution of the physical campus environment through feasibility assessment, programming and design of major capital projects, oversight of real estate transactions, transportation planning, and providing campus-wide standards.

- Facilities Operations and Services: Coordinating vital functions related to the usage, maintenance, repair, safety, energy utilization and construction of UMass Lowell buildings and grounds.
