The mission of Facilities Operations is to serve the University by developing, operating, maintaining, and renewing excellent campus environments for teaching, learning and research, leadership, working, and personal growth. We support the University's mission through the development of education, guidance, and partnerships that promote health, safety, and protection of the environment. We respect and appreciate each individual’s contribution in service to the University and its mission to positively impact the metropolitan community.
Welcome to Facilities Operations!
The Facilities Operations team is responsible for the planning, construction, and ongoing maintenance and operations of the University of Michigan–Dearborn’s physical property—its buildings and infrastructure, grounds, and utilities. We watch over the energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental health of the campus and help assure the occupational health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. We provide general services for the campus community, including mail and deliveries, shuttle and parking services, and fleet maintenance. And last, but certainly not least, our University Unions and Events team handles internal and external events for our campus.
Our Executive Director is Ben Bushkuhl.

CSS Rooftop Unit Installation
At the end of June 2026, our team completed the installation of a 6.5 ton rooftop unit at the CSS building. This was especially significant because the work was self performed by our own team, which helps save campus money while ensuring the installation is completed correctly and to our standards.
This was also the first larger self perform project our team has completed in over five years, which makes it an important milestone for Facilities Operations. It is a great example of the skill, coordination, and pride our team brings to campus every day.
