Maintenance & Repairs
Maintenance and operations (M&O) staff keep our buildings, infrastructure and equipment in good repair, inspected and certified. The M&O staff include skilled tradespeople covering a wide area of specialized expertise. They provide a mix of on-demand and planned service.
On-demand services include responding to all maintenance work requests submitted to the Facilities Help Desk through the form.
Common maintenance and repair work requests include:
- Door off hinges, broken door jam, door not closing properly
- Installation or repair of electrical outlets or fixtures
- Installation of shelving or hooks; hang a painting
- Keys, locks and locksmith services
- Lightbulb replacement and light fixture repairs
- Painting walls and ceilings
- Repairs to permanent furniture (lab benches, countertops) or cabinetry
- Repairs to walls, windows, floors, ceilings
- Elevator or other equipment malfunctions
Oversight for all repairs and renovation
It is essential for our infrastructure security and our community���s health and safety that maintenance, repairs and renovation work is to be authorized and completed only under Facilities��� oversight. Our building systems and connections to public utilities are complex ��� third-party contractors or do-it-yourself projects that drill into walls or ceilings could have severe, unintended consequences.
If you need assistance with your space, furniture, fixtures or infrastructure within it, submit a form or contact the Facilities Help Desk for additional guidance.
Funding responsibilities for maintenance and safety compliance
Base funding is allocated by the university directly to Facilities for base-building repairs, preventative maintenance and infrastructure renewal in general-use facilities and non-specialized academic/research spaces (classrooms and lecture halls, library spaces, informal learning/study spaces).
Departmental, research and revenue-generating business units are responsible for funding the maintenance and safety certification related to specialized equipment and systems.
For more information on base-building systems and functional-use equipment, visit Facilities��� Infrastructure Renewal Planning page.
