Typical Work Order Requests

This unit is part of the Support Services unit in Facilities. Work requests can be submitted for a variety of maintenance and repairs of buildings and infrastructure, college vehicles, as well as furniture moves, and remodeling on campus. All requests related to on-campus Housing, should be submitted to Housing Services.

General maintenance requests of the buildings or grounds are provided at the expense of Facilities Services. Other requests, such as remodels of existing facilities, additions, alterations, new installations and other similar activities are generally charged to the budgets requesting the work order. In addition, if additional clean up is required after special events, the budget of the group involved will be charged for the additional labor required for that clean up. Contact the work order center with any questions.

To maintain campus standards, ensure safety, consistency, quality, appearance, code compliance, and to comply with union agreements, all repair, maintenance, and remodeling work on campus must be managed by Facilities Services.

Do not attempt to make repairs yourself or contract with others to do so. This includes such things as painting, moving heavy furniture, installing shelving, blackboards, tack boards, whiteboards, or similar kinds of maintenance or remodeling efforts.
