Business Operations

Business operations oversees the budgeting, accounting, purchasing and billing functions for Facilities and Services and the delegated capital projects. This division works closely with the planning and project management divisions to coordinate submittals to the Office of the State Engineer and the South Dakota Board of Regents. In addition to the mandated monthly, quarterly and annual reports, business operations also oversees work request submittals and subsequent reports for SDSU capital projects.

The Customer Service Center is also managed by the business operations division. It provides campus-wide services such as mail services including USPS, UPS, FedEx, bulk mail and campus mail, shipping and receiving and the warehouse, which stocks high-demand products/parts for campus maintenance and other departments on campus.

Each month Facilities and Services generates a billing summary by department for all billable work and projects within that month. This process combines all routine and construction project expenses into one monthly billing. Therefore, each work order may include shops labor and materials plus contractors and vendor charges, if applicable. Please note there may be circumstances that materials and rental charges post on the following month, due to timing and vendor billing cycles.

If you have questions about any of the services offered by business operations, please call the Facilities and Services front desk at 605-688-4136 or email SDSU Facilities and Services front desk.
