What is routine maintenance?
Top of Page Work orders for immediate tasks that do not pose a threat to life, property, research or of serious disruption to the operation of the University. Service requests to correct or update items that do not require immediate attention, including lighting, mechanical, heating, cooling or electrical repairs and cleaning services. Routine work can be scheduled within the capability of the Physical Plant Department to minimize the need for emergency and urgent calls. Large-scale work orders are treated as projects; they may require several months to complete. Small repairs are normally done within 10 days of being put into the job queue, but availability of materials and unforeseen problems could delay completion.
