About Us

Land & Building Services (LBS) is the primary steward for UBC facilities and infrastructure. In addition to providing all operations and maintenance for UBC’s 278 core buildings, we also provide municipal services—landscaping, waste management, and road maintenance—and capital building and utility infrastructure planning for 405 hectares of campus land. We’re also involved in the provision of community services and we’re playing an active role in the creation of a vibrant university town.

Our purpose within the TREK 2000 Vision is to support the university’s mission of educating students and nurturing successful research endeavors. Our mission is to provide professional, leading edge stewardship and asset management for all of UBC’s lands and buildings. We’re helping lead the way by setting the highest standard of service in all aspects of our core functions and responsibilities.

We are an umbrella organization that comprises six operational units (UBC Plant Operations, Campus & Community Planning, UBC Utilities, UBC Campus Sustainability Office, the UBC Trek Program Centre and the Office of the University Architect). Two administrative units, Finance & IT Services and Human Resources & Administration provide streamlined centralized support for the entire portfolio.
