Service Requests
 Forms
can be found at the bell desk of all residential halls. The request
is filled out and sent to the Facilities Management office in the
Kohler Building through interoffice mail.
If there is an emergency, call X2012 and your request will be given
priority attention.
These request forms can also be obtained from the various departmental
offices located in the academic buildings for work related to those
facilities.
The same request forms are used for faculty housing and can be obtained
from the Facilities Management office in the Kohler building. Tenants
can also telephone in their requests to the FM office. Please note:
With a few exceptions, all tenant housing is now managed by a private
concern.
If there is an emergency, call X2012 and your request will be given
priority attention.
Requests
for major work are handled by submitting a "form 8" request.
This is done in the second semester and involves going through the
department chairman. The request is reviewed and funds are budgeted
for the following fiscal year. The large projects are also given
an estimated time of completion if they involve several departments
and/or temporary displacement of facilities. Large projects may
also need preparation time to notify contractors to bid on work
and to order materials for special projects. Present and future
projects presently budgeted can be viewed by going to the projects
page.
There is discussion to add a bar coding system to our stockroom
inventory and as time and funds permit, all student room, dining
room, and public area furniture will also be bar-coded.
The computerization of work requests, major projects, and inventories
is our long term goal.. Another effort of Facilities Management
is to have all the staff become computer literate, as older computers
become available in the shops everyone may obtain an "address"
and can go online. This will have a long term benefit for the staff
and Mount Holyoke College.
