Inaugural Facilities Newsletter
Welcome to our first edition of the all-new Northwestern University Facilities newsletter. This publication is written to showcase Facilities support at the University. We hope that this newsletter builds on the sense of community that makes Northwestern a special place. You may have noticed a slight change in our department name, which was previously “Facilities Management.” Because our service lines have recently expanded with the addition of Auxiliary Services, we have broadened our name to simply “Facilities.”
For those less familiar, Northwestern’s Facilities is a relatively small team with a range of activities.

In short, we are focused on Northwestern’s Values and work hard to help achieve the University’s Priorities:
Transparent and meaningful communications are important aspects of our service commitment. Some of the work in our construction and maintenance roles can create disruptions, and we work hard to eliminate or minimize those disruptions. For the latest information, please use our Weekly Construction Report and Weekly Research Disruption Report which can be found on the Northwestern Facilities website. The Weekly Research Disruption Report offers information up to a year in advance. For a full view of our major projects, visit the Northwestern Facilities Project website which features live webcams, project facts, and points of contact.
We are providing this newsletter to you, our valued partners, to further our commitment to transparency and communication. As this is our first edition, I am hopeful that you will provide feedback. Please let us know how we can improve the content or share topics of interest in Facilities by calling or sending a note to Paul Sevilla at paul.sevilla@northwestern.edu or 847-491-5875.
