Please submit a service request if you require support in any of these areas.

General repairs and maintenance such as refinishing floors and cleaning windows will have a service fee charged if the service is beyond our regular building or custodial services.

Please submit a service request and we will provide an estimate for the work. 

If your area is too hot or cold, please submit a service request and we will have a technician come and look into the problem as soon as possible.

Please do not use electric heaters. They will not fix the problem; they will only mask it and probably trip a breaker. Electric heaters also use a lot of electricity and are expensive for the College to operate.

By reporting facilities and systems that need repair or maintenance, you are helping us keep the campus clean and safe. We always appreciate it when someone notifies us about issues that may need our attention, even if it is not in your department.

If the work involves a safety issue or a maintenance problem, Facilities Management will cover the cost of basic building services, such as heating, air conditioning, gas, water and electricity, and repairs for common areas, such as cafeterias, hallways and lounges.

If the work goes beyond basic building services or involves spaces, such as laboratories, that belong to specific departments, the department requesting the work is responsible for the costs.
