The Senate Office Buildings jurisdiction oversees office and committee space for the U.S. Senate.

The jurisdiction is responsible for the management, operations, maintenance and preservation of more than three million square feet of facility space, including the Dirksen, Hart and Russell Senate Office Buildings, the Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence, the Senate Employees' Child Care Center and off-site leased facilities housing Senate support organizations.

The jurisdiction plans, designs and executes construction and renovation projects, coordinates Senate office and committee moves, oversees Senate food service operations, manages Senate garage and health and fitness facilities, maintains pedestrian tunnels and subway systems connecting the Senate buildings and the U.S. Capitol, promotes sustainability and energy-reduction measures, ensures compliance with accessibility, environmental and safety standards, and provides customer service to senators, staff and visitors to the Senate office buildings.
