The Office of Infrastructure (Prefeitura Universitária – PU) is an administrative unit of Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina whose purpose is to ensure adequate, safe, and accessible building and urban infrastructure across all UFSC campuses and units. To this end, it manages, plans, and carries out construction works and maintenance activities involving physical spaces and installed systems. PU plays an active role in planning initiatives and investments in the University’s infrastructure to ensure the proper functioning of the institution’s core activities.
PU consists of the following departments:
Architectural and Engineering Projects Department (DPAE): The DPAE is responsible for new construction, renovations, and expansions across all UFSC campuses and units.

Construction Supervision Department (DFO): The DFO is responsible for contracting, inspecting, and monitoring construction works carried out at the University’s campuses in Florianópolis (main campus), Araranguá, Blumenau, Curitibanos, and Joinville.
Building and Infrastructure Maintenance Department (DMPI): The DMPI’s activities are organized into three main areas: maintenance services (provided through contract supervision or in-house execution), procurement of materials and equipment for maintenance services, and preparation of technical reports, inspections, and monitoring of works and services.
Exterior Maintenance Department (DME): The DME is responsible for coordinating and carrying out activities related to the maintenance and preservation of the University’s exterior assets; establishing, preserving, and maintaining green areas and gardens; carrying out and/or managing minor maintenance services in external areas belonging to or administered by the University; and coordinating and carrying out the maintenance of assets to serve all areas of the University.
