government facilities

Public sector infrastructure

Government facilities are buildings, grounds, or installations owned or operated by federal, state, or local government—courthouses, military bases, post offices, prisons, public schools.

The term often appears in contexts involving security, access restrictions, or prohibited activities: Firearms are banned in government facilities.

Signs reading "government facility" typically signal that special rules apply.
