The Department of Facilities (DOF)

As stewards of the campus, the Department of Facilities creates, cares for, and powers MIT’s physical environment while implementing high-performance solutions to maximize campus sustainability. The office builds, maintains, and optimizes campus structures and grounds, and provides the utilities and services necessary to advance the educational and research activities of the Institute.

MIT Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)

EHS provides the services, resources, and support that MIT’s departments, laboratories, and centers need to achieve good practices and regulatory compliance in the realms of environment, health, and safety. The office strives to safeguard the health of the MIT community and advance its sustainability goals by minimizing the impacts of MIT’s activities, facilities, and operations. Areas of focus include biosafety, chemical safety, overall laboratory and general workplace safety, and emergency preparedness as well as construction safety, radiation protection, pollution management and prevention, and waste management.

Office of Campus Planning (OCP)

OCP supports MIT’s mission through planning and design coordination projects that help guide the strategic development and transformation of the Institute’s evolving campus. At each stage of planning, the office evaluates and prioritizes issues of design, sustainability, accessibility, optimal land use, fiscal responsibility, and neighborhood impact. Its efforts and advocacy are aimed at creating and stewarding educational environments at MIT that foster innovation, collaboration, and creativity.

Office of Sustainability (MITOS)

Established in 2013, MITOS seeks ways to integrate sustainability across all levels of the MIT campus by engaging the collective brainpower of its community members. Focus areas include creating a low-carbon campus; conserving and improving MIT’s water, landscape, and air quality; improving the material lifecycle on campus through procurement and waste reduction strategies; and exploring options for healthier food consumption and waste processes on campus. The office’s goals include collaborating extensively with campus partners to ensure that sustainability is a critical part of MIT’s standard operating procedures and is fully integrated into the community’s work, research, teaching, and living practices.
