INFRASTRUCTURE SUPERITENDENCE

The creation of the Catholic College of Philosophy of Maranhão, in 1952, to offer courses in Arts, Philosophy, Geography, History, Letters and Pedagogy, demanded new horizons for higher education in Maranhão, resulting in the institution of the Maranhão’s Culture Society Superior - MACSS, created in 1955, under whose initiative the University of Maranhão was created, 1958.

Financial problems faced by MACSS motivated the creation of the Fondation University of Maranhão, maintained by the Federal Government, which brought together all the colleges that existed until then, and gave rise to the current Federal University of Maranhão, in 1966. This institution received in 1967, by donation from the Government from the State, a part of the area of Sá Viana’s camp, equivalent to 241 hectares, for the construction of the future Bacanga’s University Campus, according to State Decree-Law nº 1972/59.

The Bacanga’s Campus, opened in 1972, with the construction of the Chairman Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco building, is the main relationship space of the Federal University of Maranhão, where they are concentrated: the highest density of people and the highest flow intensities that characterize the university system.

Later on, when the organizational structure was completely done, the Municipal University City Hall (MUCH) emerged as the executing agency, which took over the central direction of construction services, maintenance of physical infrastructure, conservation, cleaning, landscaping, transportation, security , inspection and control of the use of the institution's physical spaces
