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.
Additional details about the request form fields are found at the bottom of the page.
