Space & Capital Management Services

As stewards of the university’s physical resources, we ensure that campus spaces are used efficiently and evolve to meet current and future needs. Space & Capital Management Services is committed to advancing research and learning spaces, reducing deferred maintenance, modernizing living environments, optimizing space utilization, fostering collaboration, and decreasing energy consumption. We consider student outcomes, cost recovery, external visibility, and the institution’s reputation in all project processes, playing a critical role in creating a sustainable, welcoming, and forward-thinking environment for generations to come.

Our Goals

We aspire over five years to invest $1B in improvements across UMaine and Machias. The UMaine and UMM 5-year capital plan will explore every potential funding course to strategically upgrade science and engineering facilities to advance research and learning; reduce deferred maintenance; modernize living environments; increase space utilization; decrease energy consumption and the use of nonrenewable fuels; and improve athletics space as per the Harold Alfond Foundation-funded UMS TRANSFORMS initiative.

Our Commitment

Campus Planning initiatives at the University of Maine and University of Maine at Machias include a commitment to principles of universal design; accessibility; diversity, equity, and inclusion; cultural stewardship; and sustainability and environmental responsibility.

We are also committed to the careful stewardship of our campus’ rich heritage through our historic preservation initiatives.
