What’s meant by “physical plant” in reference to organizational units at US American universities?

What is meant by the term "physical plant" when referring to organizational units at universities in the United States? I understand the meaning of "plant" in contexts such as factories or collective equipment. However, I would like to clarify what "physical plant" specifically refers to in relation to departments at US universities. Does it encompass the grounds and buildings, as well as other infrastructure elements?

Physical Plant refers to the physical upkeep of the campus. The physical plant often works on the upkeep of roads, sidewalks, and buildings. This includes administrative buildings, classrooms, and dormitories. It does not usually include the landscaping aspect of the upkeep of the university.
