Facility management

Facility management is like taking care of a big building where lots of people work or live. Just like mommy or daddy takes care of our house, there are people whose job it is to take care of big buildings. They clean, fix things that are broken, keep everything safe, and make sure everyone has what they need to work or live comfortably.

Think about your school, for example. The custodian is someone who works in facility management. They make sure the classrooms are clean and tidy, the floors are swept and shiny, and that the bathrooms smell fresh and are filled with toilet paper and soap. They also make sure the cafeteria is clean and all the tables and chairs are set up correctly.

Facility management is important because it keeps the building running smoothly and makes sure that people who use it feel safe and comfortable. When a building isn't properly maintained, things can break or become unsafe, and that can create big problems for everyone who uses it. That's why there are people whose job it is to take care of it all year round!
