Facilities Management vs. Campus Planning

It’s important to understand the distinction between a maintenance request and a project request.

Facilities Management

Facilities Management is responsible for the ongoing operation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance of existing college infrastructure. Requests handled by Facilities Management include:

Operation

  • HVAC, lighting, water, and other utilities
  • Custodial services
  • Groundskeeping
  • Waste removal
  • Event setup and support

Preventive Maintenance

Routine tasks to prevent breakdowns and extend asset life:

  • Filter replacements
  • Lubrication of equipment
  • Seasonal servicing of HVAC systems
  • Fire alarm and life safety testing

Corrective Maintenance

Repairs needed when equipment or systems fail:

  • Fixing plumbing leaks
  • Replacing light bulbs
  • HVAC system repairs

Regulatory Compliance

Ensuring college facilities meet code and regulatory standards:

  • Fire code and life safety compliance
  • Elevator inspections
  • ADA accessibility standards
  • Hazardous materials management

You can find our facilities management request form, . 

Campus Planning

Requests involving changes or improvements to physical spaces fall under Campus Planning and must be submitted as Project Requests.

What Is a Project Request?

A Project Request is required for anything beyond regular maintenance or replacement. These projects often require design, budgeting, scheduling, and coordination.

Examples include:

  • Renovating or reconfiguring a room for new use
  • Installing new equipment requiring added infrastructure
  • Upgrading finishes like flooring or lighting beyond normal lifecycle replacement
  • Enhancing rooms for accessibility or new code requirements
  • Adding building systems (e.g., air conditioning to unconditioned spaces)
