Maintenance Requests

If you have more than one service request, please submit separate tickets for multiple issues.

A maintenance work order request is initiated by the Facilities Management maintenance desk. We are here to best meet your needs and our staff will evaluate your service requests upon receipt. Maintenance requests should include repairs to buildings, building systems, utilities (HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing), Carpentry, and other minor maintenance items. The request is submitted into FM's computerized maintenance management system, assigned to the appropriate priority rating, and dispatched electronically to the appropriate tradesmen or the operating engineer for execution.
