Facilities & Services

Facilities and Services will oversee the inspection of fire alarm systems during the week of July 3rd.

This is primarily a visual inspection, but there will be brief, intermittent activations of alarm horns and strobe lights as part of inspection procedures.

Elevators will be included in the alarm inspection. Signage will be posted when an elevator is taken out of service. Every effort will be made to ensure an operational elevator is available in buildings with multiple elevators as well as to return an elevator to service as quickly as possible.

Beginning July 1, Facilities & Services will be releasing a new work order system called MaxPanda. This system will be replacing the current SchoolDude platform.

There are various reasons for the change, but we anticipate that the impact on the campus community will be positive.

Highlights include:

Dear students, faculty, and staff,

We want to inform you that the restrooms in Tower 3, including all floors, are currently out of service due to a critical plumbing repair. We estimate that this repair will take a few days to complete. 

In the meantime, please utilize the restroom facilities located in Towers 1 and 2. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. 

Thank you.

What Can F&S Do For You?

Facilities & Services is committed to supporting and maintaining our campus and its community. Our skilled crews are equipped to handle a wide range of tasks, from repairing and maintaining buildings and grounds to providing cleaning services, moving assistance, and surplus support.

Dear Faculty and Staff:

The UHB elevator near the women’s restroom is out of service for the immediate future. Parts have been ordered to complete the repairs needed to return the elevator to service. Unfortunately, the supplier is not able to give us a firm delivery date yet for those parts. Once we know more, we will share an update.

Please use the 2nd elevator around the corner in the interim.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
