Facilities Services
When possible, students should make requests through their RAs, and staff should report issues through their department’s support staff. From 7 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays (7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the summer), contact facilities services at Ext. 6340. After hours, call the Campus Safety Office at Ext. 6111 or 867-6111 to report a problem requiring immediate attention. Campus safety will contact the appropriate person “on call.” Personnel from maintenance, housekeeping, and grounds are available to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Note: On Saturday and Sunday there is a housekeeper on campus for emergencies. Call campus safety for assistance.
