H. Hill Library; repairs to parking decks; and management of various outlying real properties.

The mission of the North Carolina State University Facilities Division has historically been to "create and preserve a physical environment that advances the university." What this means on a practical level is that the division oversees the construction and maintenance of all campus buildings and other facilities, ranging from sporting venues to parking decks to streetlights. The division also supervises the purchase, sale, and upkeep of real property.

The first priority of the Facilities Division during the period covered by the collection was the development of NCSU's Centennial Campus, a process which began in 1984 when the university acquired 355 acres of land originally belonging to Dorothea Dix Hospital south of the main campus. Since that date, the campus has expanded to include 25 major buildings on 1,334 acres, representing some $620 million invested in facilities and infrastructure as of 2005.

During this period, the Facilities Division undertook myriad other projects and initiatives. These included, among many others, making the campus more accessible to disabled persons; renovation of Bragaw and Holladay Halls as well as Reynolds Coliseum; new construction on D. H. Hill Library; repairs to parking decks; and management of various outlying real properties.

Originally known as Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Business, the office was renamed Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities in 1988, when Charles Leffler assumed the position.
