The State Public Works Division assigns office space in state-owned buildings, ensuring that the maximum occupiable square footage owned by the State is utilized before non-state owned leased facilities are procured. Office space in leased buildings is procured only when there are no occupiable and vacant state-owned facilities available. This process includes locating, evaluating, and procuring efficient, professional work environments for state agencies, as close to the desired location as possible within budget for State entities served, including all agencies, boards, departments and commissions.
