Facilities Services

The Office of Facilities Management professionally maintains, renovates and improves buildings and grounds. OFM provides quality support services that provide a safe, comfortable and attractive environment for tenants and visitors, while preserving and protecting state property under its management.

OFM directs management, operations and maintenance of 2.5 million square feet of space in 23 major state buildings, valued at $690 million. Primary buildings include the State Capitol, Governor’s Mansion and the office buildings in the Capitol Complex. OFM maintains approximately 150 landscaped acres within the State Capitol Park and mansion grounds.

The Central Maintenance Unit is comprised of managers and technicians who receive and resolve tenant work requests. Technicians are trained in many areas to develop a diverse set of skills while honing a specialized expertise.

OFM strives to provide aesthetically pleasing surroundings for state buildings that adhere to environmental precautions and champion water conservation efforts.
