The district has a significant investment in facilities.  There are over 60 schools and support sites with a total of over 4.2 million square feet of building space on over 725 acres of land supporting over 32,000 students.

OUR MISSION:  The Facilities Department supports the district’s focus on increasing student achievement by expertly maintaining, repairing, planning, designing and building safe, efficient and effective learning environments for our students, staff and community. 

OUR VISION:  The Facilities Department will:

• Earn the respect of principals, building managers, staff, the school board and our Colorado Springs community;
• Faithfully steward the resources entrusted to us, conserving energy, protecting the environment and employing our people, time and funds efficiently and effectively;
• Care for our team members and do our best to make everyone in Facilities proud to be part of this organization;
• Take pride in our workmanship and our customer support;
• Openly communicate with one another and with those needing our services, providing regular feedback on the status of work orders and projects;
• Prioritize our efforts, enabling us to (in order of priority):

1. Maintain our existing 4.2 million square feet of facilities and 725 acres of grounds;
2. Repair existing infrastructure as necessary and possible;
3. Plan, Design and Build renovations, improvements, additions and new facilities as requirements dictate and resources permit.

Maintenance, repair and construction are performed by a combination of in-house shops and contractors.  The in-house shops are focused on emergency response, preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance, but also have a limited capability for small repair and construction projects (typically costing less than $10,000).  Contractors are typically used for the larger projects.  This department has 75 full-time regular positions and between 10 and 30 temporary and seasonal part-time employees.   See the link on the left for our Organizational Overview.
