University Services creates and sustains a physical environment and service culture supporting and advancing the teaching, research, and outreach mission of the University of Minnesota. We are the people behind the scenes that help make the University work each and every day ... shoveling snow, serving food, heating buildings, renovating facilities, housing students, and planning for the future of our campuses. Most of our services support all five system campuses.
