Welcome to the Physical Plant
The basic purpose of the Physical Plant Department is to create an aesthetically
pleasing, environmentally sound, and energy efficient physical environment
for the campus community. We operate and maintain the Physical Plant segment
of this environment (buildings and grounds), and we also provide auxiliary
services as needed to facilitate and support the distinctive role of Appalachian
State University (ASU) as a constituent institution of the University of
North Carolina system. In all our actions, we are guided by the goals, objectives,
and criteria established by the ASU administration and the State of North
Carolina.
