Facility Management Division

Our mission is clear: to plan, design, construct, and maintain facilities that serve as a foundation for community engagement, safety, and sustainability. We believe that well-managed facilities support the city's operations and foster a sense of belonging among residents. We aim to be transparent and responsive to our community's needs, ensuring that our services reflect the values and aspirations of those we serve.

We are committed to adopting eco-friendly practices across all city facilities, from construction to day-to-day maintenance. By integrating energy-efficient technologies, sustainable materials, and reducing waste, we strive to minimize our environmental footprint. Our projects are designed with long-term sustainability in mind, supporting the city's goal of fostering a greener, more resilient future.

We believe the community’s voice is essential in shaping our city’s spaces. Your ideas and feedback guide our projects, ensuring that we create facilities that reflect the values of our diverse population. Through public forums, online surveys, and community meetings, we invite residents to share their thoughts and help shape the future of our city’s infrastructure.

We are proud of the transformations our city has undergone through thoughtful facility management. Below are some of our most recent accomplishments:
