Our Services

Facilities Management is responsible for the operation, maintenance and renovation of the physical facilities of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Funds are provided by the State Legislature and the institution to operate all buildings and support systems as required for the HSC mission and to maintain all facilities in safe and efficient working order.

Any and all changes to UTHSCSA physical facilities must be performed and/or coordinated through Facilities Management. All connections, other than convenience type plug-in utensils, made to the various utility systems (water, steam, chilled water, sewer, electrical, etc.) must be made by Facilities Management personnel or appropriately licensed technician under the direct supervision of the Facilities Management Department.

A primary requirement is that Facilities Management personnel have knowledge of the exact condition of the physical facilities at all times and that the proposed installation meets appropriate current codes or standards. To maintain that knowledge, Facilities Management personnel are available to assist with the planning of any new or renovation project to the building structures or grounds area of HSC property.

• Types of Services

  Services are divided into two basic types:

  FM-FUNDED SERVICES

  FM Funded Services are those for which Facilities Management receives budget allocations. Basically, these are services directly related to the operation, maintenance, and upkeep of Health Science Center facilities. They are rendered free of charge. Examples of FM Funded Services include:

  • Maintenance and repair services to buildings and building systems, elevators, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical distribution systems, roofs, etc. These services are generally performed on structures, additions, and equipment which, if vacated by present occupants, would require no alterations, special furnishing or remodeling for occupancy by some other HSC department.
  • Maintenance of walks, streets, and grounds
  • Pest control
  • Custodial services except in areas particular to departments or activities classified as auxiliary enterprises. Auxiliary enterprises are generally known as activities not funded by legislative appropriation.

  DEPARTMENT-FUNDED SERVICES

  Department Funded Services are those services for which Facilities Management does not receive a budget allocation and which must be funded by the requesting department. Examples of this type of service include:

  • Minor alterations or renovations to buildings or structures assigned to departments and University activities.
  • Addition of special equipment such as laboratory equipment, mini blinds, special lighting, bulletin boards, etc..
  • Painting
  • State-owned vehicle repair services for vehicles assigned to the department
  • Movement of furnishings and equipment
  • Set up of furniture and equipment for special events and occasions

  Facilities Management charges for labor and materials for Department Funded Services. This includes labor shop rates, utilized materials, contractors, design services and other direct costs associated with accomplishing the work in accordance with all applicable codes and University policies.
