Facilities Information Services

We are an innovative team focused on providing comprehensive and efficient information services, problem solving, and process improvements which serve to enhance the academic and administrative functions of the University's operations with an emphasis on providing technology-based facilities and geospatial solutions.

History

The department was organized in September of 2009 by consolidating facilities CAD, GIS, Records and IT functions. Pooling resources allowed the formation of three teams: Geospatial, Programming, and IT Field Services. The teams were set up to serve as central resources for information about University Facilities and provide support to departments across the administrative side of the University. In 2014, an individual charge rates/budget for each of the teams was implemented. In 2019 the three teams were moved and structured in UK ITS, where Programming and Field Services remain. In 2023, the Geospatial team was spun off into their own unit under Facilities Management Shared Services.
