Facilities Management
Saint John campus
Facilities Management is responsible for taking care of the land, buildings and related services for the Saint John campus of UNB in the most effective manner possible with funds provided.
This includes buildings at 40 Charlotte Street, 127 Carleton Street and the Dalhousie Medical building.
Purpose
To provide the UNB Saint John community with an inviting, safe and sustainable environment which supports and enhances an inspiring experience in learning, living, working and research.
Vision
To be an innovative team of motivated professionals recognized for excellence in facilities management.
Values
- Commitment - We care.

- Integrity - We treat everyone with respect and honesty.
- Leadership - We lead by example in everything we do.
- Quality - We do the right thing at the right time.

It is essential that Facilities Management be consulted before new or modified apparatus is connected to building systems. Persons not qualified to install new systems could inadvertently cause severe damage to university property.
Space request guidance
Status of space availability
Currently, the University of New Brunswick does not have surplus space available to accommodate new space requests.
Submission of requests, evaluation and fulfillment
Requests may still be submitted; however, they will be documented and evaluated in accordance with applicable university policies, and only when both space and funding are identified. As a result, requests will not be addressed solely based on the date of submission, and some may be fulfilled outside their original submission timing.
All space-related requests must be submitted through this process. Requests not submitted through the formal process will not be accepted, evaluated, or fulfilled.
Before submitting a request, units must consult the appropriate senior leader to ensure alignment with institutional priorities:
- Academic space requests: Consultation and endorsement with the Provost is required
- Administrative space requests: Consultation and endorsement with the Vice-President (Administration & Finance) is required
- Research space requests: Consultation and endorsement with the Vice-President (Research) is required
Health and Social Innovation Centre (HSIC) Considerations
For units affected by the delayed opening of the HSIC, individuals and teams originally scheduled to relocate should continue operating in their current assigned spaces. Relocation plans will proceed once the HSIC is operational.
Note: Academic use of the HSIC is not expected until Fall 2027.
