I worked for a University in florida and the largest department was by far the Facilities one. Maintaining buildings, keeping them clean etc.. is very expensive. You can't cut those jobs and for each new building, you to add more of these people. The University tried to freeze hiring but a few new buildings were entering operation, they had to keep getting more janitors/grounds keepers etc.
