The Public Works Facilities Division serves as the backbone of the city’s facilities infrastructure, ensuring that the spaces where people live, work, and gather remain functional, safe, and sustainable. Our division’s mission is to provide professional, high-quality, and reliable building services to meet the needs of both city departments and the community.
With responsibility for more than 460 facilities across the city, we manage a portfolio that includes critical properties such as police and fire stations, libraries, senior centers, parks, pools, recreation centers, arts and cultural venues, and administrative buildings. Together, these facilities cover 10.7 million square feet and span 14,574 acres of land. Our work ensures that these spaces operate seamlessly, fostering productivity, safety, and engagement.
