Annual Report

THE FY 2008 REPORT IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEB SITE. PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR OPERATIONS OR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS.

Facilities Services is charged with the stewardship responsibility for maintenance and operations of the real property assets of the University of Mary Washington including the James Monroe Museum and Belmont. Cost-effective solutions, foresighted planning, and customer-focused support are the objectives of our facilities programs. Our primary service areas include: building maintenance and repair, capital outlay management, state vehicle transportation services, housekeeping, grounds care, athletic field maintenance, waste management, safety programs, central heating plant operations, minor construction and alterations, engineering services and facility support contracts.

The buildings and grounds of the University of Mary Washington, often collectively referred to as the "physical plant", are significant capital assets of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition to the considerable investment value represented, these facilities create and sustain an environment of profound importance to all who live, study, or work here, as well as to those who visit our campus. Facilities Services is proud of our responsibility for the care and preservation of these assets.

A key component of our care is a continuous process of facilities assessment. Our first assessment was made in 1994. In the subsequent years our assessments have continued to improve our overall knowledge of the conditions of the facilities. The assessment process serves as a tool for identifying, planning, and prioritizing our maintenance work.

This Annual Report on Operations and the Condition of Facilities reflects the condition of College facilities at the end of the last fiscal year, that is, as of June 30, 2006. Significant operational milestones of the previous year are also recapped. It is our hope that this report will help members of the MWC community understand the current condition of our facilities and our ongoing efforts to provide for their care and improvement. We are interested in your thoughts and suggestions on possible improvements we might make to this report.
