To separate operations and maintenance from
planning, engineering, and construction, Facili-
ties Operations and Maintenance was established
in 1993. This office oversees operations and
maintenance of the 51 facilities throughout the
State for which the Department of General Serv-
ices is responsible. These facilities, totalling over
5.6 million square feet of space, include the three
State office centers and eleven regional multi-
service centers.
Under Facilities Operations and Maintenance
are three divisions: Annapolis Public Buildings and
Grounds; Baltimore Public Buildings and Grounds;
and the Inner Harbor State Office Complex.

The responsibility to care for State buildings
in Annapolis dates to 1862 when the Governor
was authorized to appoint custodians (Chapter
15, Acts of 1862). These duties devolved to a
superintendent who, in 1970, headed the Office
of Annapolis Public Buildings and Grounds
within the Department of General Services
, (Chapter 97, Acts of 1970).
The Annapolis Public Buildings and Grounds
Division operates, maintains, and secures the
State Office Center in Annapolis. Some thirty
State-owned buildings encompassing over 2 mil-
lion square feet on 49 acres of landscaped areas
and 24.5 acres of parking lots are overseen by the
Division. The buildings house approximately
5,000 State employees and elected officials. The
Division also maintains Government House and
other historic buildings, including the State
House, the Old Treasury Building and Shaw
House. In addition, the Division cares for the
Crownsville People's Resource Center and the
Crownsville Day Care Center in Anne Arundel
County. Since 1993, the Division has been re-
sponsible for the multi-service centers in Anne
Arundel, Queen Anne's, Caroline and Wicomico
counties.

To preserve facilities and equipment, the Divi-
sion provides both preventive and routine mainte-
nance; makes major repairs, alterations, and
improvements; and supplies equipment and mate-
rials to maintain the State Office Center. A special
police force and guards provide 24-hour security.

The Baltimore Public Buildings and Grounds
Division originated in 1958 when responsibilities
for State buildings in Baltimore were assigned to a
superintendent (Chapter 40, Acts of 1958). In
1970, these dudes were delegated to the Office of
Baltimore Public Buildings and Grounds when the
Department of General Services was established
(Chapter 97, Acts of 1970). By 1979, the Office
was called a division.
The Division is responsible for the operation,
maintenance, and security of five State buildings in
Baltimore City: 201 West Preston St.; 300 West
Preston St.; 301 West Preston St.; 2100 Guilford
Ave.; and 500 North Calvert St. The Division also
oversees multi-service centers in Baltimore City,
and Baltimore and Howard counties.
The Division provides both preventive and rou-
tine maintenance, major repairs, alterations, im-
provements, supplies, and housekeeping services
for facilities and equipment. The Division's special
police and building guards offer around-the-clock
security. The Baltimore State Office Complex in-
cludes seven buildings housing some 5,400 State
employees, 14 acres of landscaped area, and 19
acres of parking lots. The Division also maintains
the four acres of the Maryland Vietnam Veterans'
Memorial.
