General Information
Routine maintenance is provided by various
craft workers. If you would like to request
repair or have a question regarding
maintenance, you may contact the
maintenance staff at 308-3166, 24 hours a
day. Work Orders are scheduled by date
received, urgency of request and availability
of appropriate crafts person.
Each building has General Maintenance
Workers (GMW’s) assigned to do daily
cleaning, trash removal and recycling.
GMW’s are also responsible for special
event arrangements, clearing of snow near
buildings, light bulb replacement and
periodic special cleaning such as washing
windows, waxing floors and shampooing
carpets. Staffing levels limit the frequency of
various cleaning tasks. If you require special
service, you may either request it of the
GMW in your building, or you may phone
308-2266.
The University grounds (100
acres including the main
campus and Selke Field) are
maintained by grounds
personnel. The staff manages
mowing, trimming, planning/development of
irrigation systems, flower planting, and tree
pruning/planting.
Campus walks, roads and parking lots are
plowed by grounds personnel and other
crafts people. Entrances to buildings and
near-by steps are cleared by the respective
building GMW’s. The snow removal policy is
based on the intensity and timing of storms.
If inadequately cleared or sanded areas are
observed, please contact the Maintenance
Office at 308-3166 for assistance.
Recycling is encouraged. Receptacles for
aluminum, trash and paper are provided
across campus. Any paper without food
contamination may be placed unsorted in
appropriate containers. Confidential
materials are destroyed on a
regular basis. Provisions
are also made to
recycle many other
materials, byproducts
and waste
on campus.
This voluntary system
of recycling and trash
reduction is dependent
on your efforts and
encouragement of others.
Recycling saves the University disposal
costs, reduces the need for new resources
and improves the environment. Phone 308-
2266 for information.
The Energy Management System (EMS)
provides computerized control of HVAC
systems and much of the exterior lighting on
campus. The EMS is programmed to
accommodate building schedules which have
been provided to Buildings & Grounds by
various offices across campus. The
schedule is reviewed and revised weekly for
special events or changes. Control systems
can usually be rescheduled by calling 308-
3166 and informing the operating engineer.
In general, if you want systems turned on,
you must provide a specific time for them to
be returned to normal operation. Your care
in energy use on campus will save resources
and money.
Parking Facilities Maintenance
Parking facilities are provided and
maintained by Buildings and Grounds.
Parking permits and parking enforcement
are managed by University Public Safety
(308-3453).
Mail is sorted in the Mailroom, AS 103. The
U.S. and campus mail is then delivered to
each building. Outgoing mail is picked up at
this time. Freight and packages are
delivered to receiving at the Maintenance
Building. These shipments are checked for
damage and against copies of purchase
orders. This often requires that packages be
opened. The material is then delivered. This
service is not intended for personal
packages. If you expect packages that
require special handling or are perishable,
contact the Maintenance Office (308-3166)
prior to the expected delivery.
