Submit Routine Work Order Request
All facilities/space requests with the exception of routine maintenance (repairs without structural changes or change in occupancy) are submitted through the initiative process in the strategic planning database. Refer to the section Submit New, Renovation, Relocation request.
Routine maintenance is general building repairs to make the space different in a particular way without permanently losing its former characteristics or essence. These type repairs do not normally result in any structural changes or changes in occupancy. Although the determination of routine maintenance is somewhat subjective, it can be described as the repair of anything facility related which is broken and not operating as it was originally designed. Such repairs are always made at no cost to the department because budgets are provided in Plant Operations and Auxiliary Services for such service. Periodic repainting, repairing leaking roofs, unstopping plumbing, replacing electric bulbs, fixing squeaking doors, repair plumbing fixtures leaking, adjusting an uncomfortable room (too hot or cold), spot painting a room, patching a torn carpet, replacing damaged ceiling tile or cracked windows are considered routine maintenance. However, re-painting walls which have been recently painted and are undamaged, or which have colors not preferred by the occupant are not considered routine maintenance. Charges will be assessed to the department for these non-routine services.
Maintenance requests are submitted via the Plant Operations work order system. These requests are NOT reviewed by the Space Management Council.
