Building Maintenance

The Office of Building Maintenance performs building maintenance and repairs.

Regular Maintenance and Repair Requests 

Requests for routine maintenance and repairs should route through our work order system. You can access the work order system by clicking the "Request Service" button below, then complete and submit the request form.

Please note:

  • The red asterisk denotes a required field.
  • Only the first 50 selections appear when scrolling in the "Filter by Building Group", "Filter by Building", and "Location(s)" fields. Reduce the selections by using prior filter fields or by typing directly in the field.
  • This system is a database so it may take a moment for it to find locations.

Remodels and Renovations 

Requests for extensive remodeling or upgrades are considered to be beyond regular maintenance. These requests must be coordinated through the department head or dean and then submitted to F&S using the "Request a Construction Project" form.
