Facilities Services

Welcome to Facilities Services!

Surrey Facilities Services is responsible for the stewardship of lands and buildings that encompass more than 58000 square metres of campus space.

Facilities services encompass a broad range of essential functions dedicated to ensuring the efficient, safe, and comfortable operation of physical spaces on campus. From maintaining buildings and equipment to managing utilities, janitorial, and environmental sustainability initiatives, our goal is to create a secure, hygienic environment for the SFU Surrey community. We achieve this by meticulously planning and delivering services that not only promote sustainability but also bolster the well-being of our campus community.

Our primary services include:

Building & Grounds Maintenance

All buildings and grounds are kept in top condition, providing a safe, clean, and secure environment for students, faculty, and visitors. From routine maintenance to emergency repairs, the Facilties Services team works diligently to uphold the highest standards of campus care.

Building access

Building hours are as follows:

SRYC: 24/7 access to SFU students (with SFU ID cards), staff and faculty. General public access from 7 am – 10 pm.

Placing a Service Request
