As university employees return to buildings that may have been empty or only partially occupied, numerous maintenance issues could arise. The best way to address those issues is to submit a work request form to Facilities Services, which handles maintenance requests for all educational and general buildings on campus.
Work request forms should be submitted for non-emergency maintenance issues, such as:
- Lights out in your building
- Wet or falling ceiling tiles
- Faucet leaking or toilet running in a bathroom
- Tree limb down near your building
- Recycling bin needed for office cleanups or moves
- Office/classroom too hot/cold
In an emergency: Call 803-777-9675. Emergency situations might include:
- A pool of water on the floor
- Power out in your building
- Elevator malfunction
- Other significant maintenance issues that require immediate attention
How it works: Filing requests directly with Facility Services enters your request into the work management team’s system and gives you a tracking number to follow up on the request.
Keep it clean: Facility Services is also your go-to contact for requesting classroom sanitation supplies, interior signage, security upgrades and more.
Office sanitation supplies: Departments and offices can order PPE supplies through Purchasing.
