What the FAC is FAC?
The Undergraduate Student Association Council (USAC) Facilities Commission (FAC) is one of 15 undergraduate student government offices. FAC is responsible for ensuring UCLA facilities are accessible, sustainable, and representative of student needs. Our role is to amplify the student voice on sustainable campus policy and fulfill student demands when maintaining campus facilities, including buildings, outdoor spaces, and UCLA-managed transportation services. FAC must also engage the UCLA community in promoting sustainability and accessibility across campus, educate on how these issues affect the campus, and provide resources surrounding these issues. The Facilities Commissioner, the elected USAC officer who oversees the commission, also chairs The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF), the undergraduate sustainability funding body, and appoints various campus committees related to space allocation and sustainability. With multiple projects and over 50 student members, FAC welcomes all undergraduate students to get involved in making the campus more sustainable and accessible.
