The state of California generally provides funding for the operation and maintenance of facilities that support the University's core mission of teaching, research and public service. These facilities include buildings that house programs and departments classified as academic, professional, administrative, academic support, dedicated research and public service.

Currently, about half of the University's facilities are eligible for state operation and maintenance support. However, as a result of its continuing fiscal difficulties, the state has not provided this support for much of the new state-eligible space that has come on line in recent years.

The remainder of the University's facilities are either self-supporting auxiliaries (such as hospitals, student dormitories and parking garages), are supported by student fees (such as recreational facilities and student health services) or are supported on some other basis (such as alumni services and natural reserves).
