About Us

The Department of Facilities Management and Planning works with the campus community to help UMass Lowell achieve its mission by providing a highly functional, attractive and safe campus environment. We ensure that the physical campus environment — comprising 43 buildings with diverse uses and 100 acres of open space and parking lots—meets the educational and research needs of the University today and in the future.
