Service Requests

Placing a Service Request

• To initiate a service request, please use our online form.
• Your service request becomes a numbered work order and is then forwarded to the appropriate trade, or to a manager who can approve the request.
• Service requests are prioritized according to relevance to the academic mission and/or necessity for primary maintenance of campus facilities.
• Response time vary dependent upon the complexity of the service required, and availability of materials and labor. If your requests is dependent on a particular deadline or schedule constraint, please provide those details with your request.
• Emergency work will be completed same-day whenever possible, i.e., power failure, safety hazard, potential damage to facility or equipment.

Please do not ask the trades person responding to your service request to perform tasks that were not included in your original request. Instead, please submit another service request to schedule additional work.
