Periodic evaluation and planning of preventive maintenance provide greater comfort, safety and durability of buildings. In educational institutions, these needs become more evident, since habitability problems can hinder the development of the teaching, research and extension process developed in university environments. The objective of this work is to evaluate probable causes of pathological manifestations and propose solutions. The study was developed in the premises of the Department of Food Engineering of the Federal University of Ceará. The methodology used in the study results from analyses of pathological manifestations observed by surveys with visual and tactile inspections. Photographic records, interviews with building users and those responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the buildings were carried out. After the inspection of the environments, corrections were proposed for the identified problems. The main pathological manifestations observed were fissures, displacement of coating, stains, infiltrations and corrosive process of external structural elements. The problems are directly associated with the lack of inspections and adequate maintenance, aggravated by the age of the buildings and the environment where they are located, since it presents itself in an area near a lagoon and with a strong incidence of weathering such as rains and winds.
