| Summary: | As the primary purpose of a university is to generate high-quality graduates, university buildings that are regarded as valuable assets and resources have a significant role in this process. Therefore, building maintenance management is crucial to extend the lifecycle of university buildings, besides ensuring that all university operations continue to function optimally. Despite the prior investigation in this research field, maintenance of university building appears to be a trivial factor. As such, this present study looked into the practices of building maintenance management in five Malaysian public universities. Data gathered from 10 building maintenance experts via interview were analysed via single-and cross-case analyses. The study outcomes revealed that the university maintenance department deployed the following practices; prioritise maintenance, planned maintenance, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance. © 2024, Construction Research Institute of Malaysia.
