ABSTRACT
Many Brazilian
federal universities do not make use of a concrete and effective maintenance
policy of its public buildings. Taking this fact into consideration, the
objective of this work is to contribute with an assessment of the current
maintenance management carried out in three federal universities in the State
of Minas Gerais: the UFOP (Federal University of Ouro Preto),
UNIFEI (University of Itajubá) and the UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais).
These universities were chosen because they have buildings with metal
structures and also for being a reference in the state of
Minas Gerais, which is the largest steel producer in Brazil. Knowledge was
sought about the management of the campus infrastructure maintenance by raising
questions about the main tools used by managers and other professionals in the
field. The adopted methodology was qualitative and performed through
semi-structured interviews conducted via email, with servers working directly
or indirectly within each building maintenance system. The results show lacking
a well-formulated plan and building maintenance programs as well as a
specialized and qualified skilled labor force for the performance of services.
