Maintenance Requests

1. Determine whether your work request is an emergency.

An emergency is any situation that threatens lives, could cause serious injuries or effects the scheduled operations of the buildings, equipment or utilities. Examples are: smoke, gas, or burning odors, no air conditioning, backed up drains, overflowing toilets or broken windows. All other work requests are considered routine and require a written work.

Please be prepared to provide your contact information, exact location of the issue and as much detail as possible regarding the issue. Work will be scheduled as soon as possible (availability of parts may impact completion time).
