FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q. How do I request services from Building Operations?
A. Building Operations uses an automated ON DEMAND WORK REQUEST SYSTEM that enables each department to submit requests using the internet.

Each department has two or more “authorized requestors” who are able to enter the department’s requests into the system. Additional information about on the ON DEMAND WORK REQUEST SYSTEM can be found under SERVICES.

Q. Can requests be made over the phone?
A. Only facilities-related emergencies are taken by phone for dispatch and entry into the automated ON DEMAND WORK REQUEST SYSTEM.
Facilities-related emergencies include such items as:
a. Partial or full power outages/electrical
b. Problems with air temperature or ventilation
c. Problems with doors
d. Elevator-related problems
e. Floods

Q. What is the usual turn around time for a paint request?
A. Paint requests are accepted on a first come, first served basis. A member of the Building Operations staff does examine each area prior to authorizing each request. If an area’s condition indicates a pressing need (e.g. damage from leaks, holes in walls, excessive graffiti) that request will be placed ahead of other requests of a less urgent nature.

Many users feel that requests for painting take an unusually long time to process. Please bear in mind that Building Operations has the responsibility for maintaining the entire campus and must paint all public areas on a priority basis.
