About Us

The Building Coordinator is an important role on the University of Iowa campus. Our dedicated building coordinators work to facilitate effective working relationships and communication between building users and facilities service providers in order to achieve more effective service levels. The partnership between Facilities Management and the Building Coordinator depends on close coordination to keep building operations and management running smoothly.

Over 100 coordinators have committed to excellence in communication between building users and facilities service providers.
