Historical NoteReturn to Top

When the college was founded in 1965, Facilities was placed administratively under the Business Office, 1965-1978, and was variously titled College Services, College Facilities, Campus Support Services, and Plant Services. It was then placed under Administrative Services, 1978-1994, and was called Facilities Services, Campus Support Services, and Plant Services. In 1994, it was placed under College Operations and was called Campus Services until 1998 when the department name was changed to Facilities Management and Planning.

Facilities Management and Planning is responsible for providing maintenance, utilities, facilities planning, construction and remodeling, custodial, motor pool, and other support services to Lane’s main campus in Eugene as well as the outlying centers.
