Our Objectives and Our Mission
At the heart of our university, the Security, Safety and Facilities Operations domain supports every aspect of daily learning, innovation, and research. Our mission is to provide a safe, functional, and welcoming environment for all.
From early morning, as the campus comes to life, we have already worked behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. We oversee infrastructure maintenance, building energy efficiency, and the availability of essential resources. Beyond upkeep, we promote health and risk prevention to maintain a secure setting. Our vigilance enables us to anticipate critical situations and respond swiftly when needed.
Through our logistical support, we facilitate the organisation of the events that punctuate campus life. Whether preparing a conference or managing the audiovisual broadcast of a seminar, we make every project a reality.
In short, we are dedicated to creating the ideal conditions so that everyone can focus on their academic and professional aspirations. Proud to contribute discreetly to our university’s reputation and excellence, we ensure each day is a seamless experience for all.
