Facilities & Projects Division
The team that maintains, renovates and builds the AU campus, keeping every building running for the people who use it.
The backbone of AU
Facilities & Projects Division is considered the backbone of AU simply because of the responsibility of keeping and maintaining all buildings and related services efficiently and professionally operational to provide a pleasant and friendly environment to its customers and users.
However, Facilities & Projects Division, in addition to maintenance services, plays a major role in incorporating all necessary requirements into the design of new buildings as well as projects related to the upgrading, renovation, and refurbishment necessary for all existing buildings, facilities, and utilities in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local authorities, supervising and managing construction works, and handing over completed projects.
Since the establishment of the Facilities & Projects Division in 2006, it has handled the execution, monitoring, and supervision of minor projects/works and Capital Projects, such as but not limited to the following:
