Except for emergencies, the Facilities Management department will make priorities on all work order schedules and availability of manpower.  Special work orders will be scheduled in the order received and when time is available.  Support of events or furniture set-ups should be submitted at least 48 hours in advance so that we can schedule the workforce needed.

Custodial service emergencies are to be placed to ext. 2182.

Request for vehicle #56 and #57 should be submitted at least 48 hours in advance.

The Facilities Management Department sets its work order priorities based on the following:

• PRIORITY 1: Emergent need involving systems failure or for the health and/or safety of the Health Science Center community.

• PRIORITY 2: Urgent maintenance that does not impede safety, but one that results in impaired operation of classes or other Health Science Center operations.

• PRIORITY 3: All other routine maintenance work or departmentally funded work.

Interdepartmental Transfers of work orders are based on the actual cost of Facilities Management Department materials and supplies.  Contracted outside labor and materials will also be charged to the requesting department.
