The mission of the Physical Plant Department is to construct, maintain, and operate the Campus buildings, utilities, and grounds in order to provide a clean, comfortable, safe, and sanitary environment for living and learning. We also provide services to enhance the use of facilities for external as well as internal customers. The Mission is carried out in a manner consistent with Colby’s four-fold mission to inspire students’ imagination and creativity; to help them become vigorous thinkers who can communicate clearly; to broaden their knowledge; and to enhance their historical and aesthetic sensibilities. We strive to incorporate the College’s values for campus sustainability and resource conservation.
