Service Areas
Routine preventive maintenance and repairs are handled by skilled trade workers, including plumbers, electricians, and carpenters. To request a repair, please submit a service request. Work orders are scheduled based on the date received, the urgency of the request, and the availability of qualified staff.
Each building has General Maintenance Workers (GMWs) assigned to handle daily cleaning, trash removal, and recycling. GMWs are also responsible for special event arrangements, snow removal near buildings, light bulb replacement, and periodic deep cleaning such as window washing, floor waxing, and carpet shampooing. If you encounter a bathroom, hallway, parking ramp, or outdoor area that is not in satisfactory condition, please submit a service request.
Assistance with setup or other arrangements related to special events can be coordinated in advance once the event is approved and scheduled. Support is subject to staff availability.
