The Department of General Services (DGS) is responsible for managing approximately 40 million square feet (sf) of all types of space that supports a variety of state programs and functions. Of this amount, approximately 20 million sf is attributable to DGS-managed state-owned office, warehouse, storage, and other space; and 20 million sf to DGS-managed leases. The DGS has control and jurisdiction over 57 office buildings totaling 17 million sf (including the State Capitol), as well as 22 other buildings totaling 2.8 million sf including warehouses, storage, the Central Heating and Cooling Plant, the State Printing Plant, three state-owned parking structures in Sacramento, and the State Records Warehouse. The DGS also has jurisdiction over retail and residential properties in downtown Sacramento that are directly managed by the Capitol Area Development Authority.

• The Budget Act transfers $1.3 billion ($1 billion in 2016-17 and $300 million in 2017-18) from the General Fund to a new State Project Infrastructure Fund to be used for the renovation or replacement of state office buildings. The $1.3 billion will make a significant investment towards the overall plan to address state office space and infrastructure needs. The Budget Act estimates expenditures of approximately $10 million in fiscal year 2016-17 to initiate the first three projects in the State Project Infrastructure plan: 1) planning to address the safety and capacity needs of the State Capitol East Annex, 2) a new Natural Resources Agency headquarters building, and 3) a new building on O Street in Sacramento to replace the vacant Department of Food and Agriculture Annex.
