Building KU's Future

Our mission is to support and enhance the environment for teaching, research and support facilities at the University of Kansas by delivering buildings and other campus infrastructure that are inspiring, functional, aesthetically appropriate, cost-effective, sustainable and compatible with the University's mission and policies.

Potter Lake Restoration Project

Last year, KU Operations oversaw a $1.2 million revitalization project for Potter Lake, an iconic landmark that has been a space for education, recreation and celebration for more than 100 years. Today, Potter Lake is healthier, has better water quality and is easier to maintain.
