This is used to cover basic maintenance and operations of infrastructure and systems. The below lists are not intended to be exhaustive, but to be used as a funding guide.

Auxiliary spaces do not receive operational funding from the State of Florida. Therefore, occupants are required to fund all Facilities requested services within these spaces. Additionally, certain building systems receive quarterly and/or annual maintenance that will be billed to auxiliary space occupants.

Examples of routine expenses are:

• Preventative Maintenance on Building Systems, such as HVAC units
• Roof Repairs
• Electrical and Plumbing maintenance

Research buildings have their own unique challenges in that they are equipped with a variety of complex systems designed to protect faculty, staff, and students. In addition, there are several specialized systems that support the research effort. Some of the systems are funded by the department, while others are funded by PO&M. Listed below is a table that identifies the responsible party:
