Facilities Services

Maintenance

Maintenance provides the upkeep and repair of University buildings and properties within those buildings, heating/cooling systems, minor plumbing, and lighting for buildings, offices and rooms. Some limited carpentry is also provided upon approval of the director of facilities.

There are two options when reporting problems to maintenance:
