Service Requests
During the academic year, departments may find the need to solicit services from Facilities Services.
SERVICE REQUEST SYSTEM:
Our system will improve efficiencies, as Facilities staff will have real-time access to review and update work orders. The information needed from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø community members for work orders is unchanged, but an enhanced feature for communicating a work order’s status will be added.
