Facilities Management & Engineering

Overview

Facilities Management oversees the Engineering and Groundskeeping departments to help meet the goals of the dean’s office for strategic planning, space management, budgeting and capital improvements, in order to provide an environment supportive of teaching and research. We are responsible for formally funded and approved requests for renovations, and help the Einstein community with such issues as processing work requests, heating and cooling, lighting and electricity, plumbing, installation and monitoring of scientific equipment, design assistance, floor plans and layouts, signs, refrigerant disposal, computer and telecommunications cabling.

Design & Construction

The Design & Construction department collaborates with the Einstein community to plan, design, and oversee the renovation of all facilities throughout Albert Einstein College of Medicine, ensuring that these spaces meet the specific needs of our community.
