    We serve Cornell through the planning, design, construction, operation, and ongoing maintenance of University facilities. Additionally, we are proud to acknowledge the numerous accomplishments and successes of our staff as we partner with the broader university community in carrying out our mission. This website provides one-stop shopping for our customers to initiate a service, get current information about a project or building, or retrieve reference information. It is also designed to introduce you to the departments within Facilities and Campus Services (FCS). FCS is an administrative support division that includes the Office of the University Architect, Contract Colleges Facilities, Energy and Sustainability, Facilities Management, Transportation and Delivery Services, Engineering and Project Management, FCS Finance and Administration, and Environment, Health and Safety. The Cornell University campus is widely admired as one of the world’s most beautiful academic settings.

    Facilities and Campus Services vision:

    Accelerate the transformation of Cornell University into a world recognized model of excellence, innovation, and sustainability.

  • Diversity and Inclusion

    The FCS Diversity and Inclusion Committee work to develop strategies to raise diversity awareness and support a culture of acceptance and inclusiveness within FCS. Our diversity committee is directed by the guidelines laid out in the campus document Toward New Destinations (TND) – Institutional Diversity Planning created by the University Diversity Council. Under this charter, Colleges and units have been challenged to promote a working culture of inclusion and embrace the elements of diversity within the workplace.

    The FCS Diversity and Inclusion Committee are focused on the following three initiatives:

    1. Identify specific underrepresented job titles to develop and implement outreach plans with the intent to increase the diversity of applicant pools.
    2. Develop a diversity and inclusiveness training program that covers topics that are both relevant to our current culture, and are based on direct feedback from FCS staff.
    3. Explore opportunities within the surrounding counties and communities to promote Cornell careers within FCS and solicit Cornell FCS Staff volunteers who can engage with potential diverse candidates.

    The FCS Diversity and Inclusion Committee are excited to hear your ideas! If you would like to learn more about each of these initiatives or be involved as they are implemented, please reach out to one of our committee members.
