Mission of PSU Physical Plant
The mission of the Pittsburg State University Physical Plant is to support and contribute to the educational process by maintaining an environment (campus building and grounds) in which teaching, research, and service to the community can be achieved effectively and efficiently. In pursuit of this mission, the Physical Plant provides essential programs in building maintenance and operations, custodial services, utility distribution, energy management, graphics, grounds and landscaping, central stores, car pool, trash removal, general services, safety, and environmental health. Because of its widespread involvement in campus activities and events, the Physical Plant must be aware of and respond to a myriad of maintenance and operational needs, desires, and plans requested by faculty, staff, and students.
Although supportive in nature, the Physical Plant has the responsibility for the visual impact or "first impression" of the institution. The image presented by buildings and grounds can have an indirect influence on the success of the university. This physical environment can have a profound effect on the attitudes expressed by the faculty, staff, students, alumni, legislators, prospective donors, parents of students, and the general public.
