What does Facilities & Services do?
The Facilities & Services Committee is dedicated to advancing the efficiency and institutional cohesiveness of campus services. The committee contributes to the continuous improvement of Lehigh's facilities infrastructures by promoting a campus environment in which essential services are responsive to student needs. Its purview encompasses a broad range of issues, including, but not limited to, on and off campus dining, housing, and transportation, as well as utility services, building facilities, resource accessibility, and prospective university renovations.
The Committee functions as an intermediary between the undergraduate student body and the university offices, administrative units, and external partners responsible for the planning, management, and delivery of campus operations. Its work involves synthesizing student feedback, conducting research into institutional and operational practices, and evaluating existing policies to then develop evidence-based recommendations for university administrators and relevant stakeholders.
In addition to its policy and advocacy functions, the Committee strives to be a resource for students seeking to navigate, access, or apply for university services and resources by providing support and facilitating connections with the appropriate institutional offices and personnel.
The Facilities and Services Committee is chaired by Beza Geberesilassie. Reach out at beg226@lehigh.edu.
