Campus Operations

Campus Operations provides ongoing support for buildings and facilities throughout UC Berkeley including the Central Campus, and other University satellite facilities.  We operate round the clock to maintain over 11 million square feet of building space, 1,085 acres of land to include the Hill campus, and manage over 35 tons of solid waste that move through the campus daily. The Zero Waste outreach team also provides assistance and resources to departments and groups to educate on how to reduce the amount of waste is sent to the landfill.

Our team of professional service staff work 24/7 in different shifts to minimize inconvenience while providing efficient services that support the campus mission. 
Learn more about who we are and what we do on the different unit pages, or contact us via email.
