The Bureau of State Office Buildings' mission is to provide a safe, secure workplace for customers and to efficiently maintain mechanical structures and buildings. The Bureau of State Office Buildings manages seven state office buildings, including the State House, the Lindemann Mental Health Center, the Saltonstall Building, the McCormack Building, the Hurley Building, and the Springfield and Pittsfield State Office Buildings.

Objectives

In Fiscal Year 1999 the Bureau will continue its security efforts by expanding private contracts, installation of electronic devices to restrict exterior access points, and the implementation of a universal card access system. The Bureau will also continue a program of asbestos remediation in the Saltonstall Building. In addition, the Bureau will improve its recycling and environmental initiatives.
