Routine Repairs and Maintenance
Facilities Services undertakes a variety of routine repair and maintenance tasks to ensure the safety and comfort of staff and students. These tasks include such things as changing filters, plumbing repairs, relamping, maintaining door hardware, troubleshooting mechanical and electrical problems, etc.

Cyclical Repair Projects
Cyclical repairs are performed annually to maintain comfort and safety and to extend the effective life of the asset. Building components such as roofs, electrical systems, flooring, paint and wall coverings, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, etc. are replaced/upgraded under the cyclical repairs program. Projected requirements are listed and ranked in a five year plan. The plan is then reviewed and approved each spring for implementation in the summer months.

Space Renovation Projects
Facilities Services also undertakes space renovation projects, primarily in the summer months. Space renovations are governed by Administrative Policy ADM 18-0. Projects that fall into this category consist of changes to existing space. Examples of space renovations are moving a microcomputer laboratory, developing new storage space, increasing or decreasing the size of classrooms, constructing new office space and installing security systems. Typically, space renovations have a value under $25,000. The process for considering space renovations begins by completing the Space Renovation Request Form  . The renovation proposal is then reviewed and recommended by the appropriate Dean and VP before being submitted to the Space Renovations Committee for ranking.
Contact Facilities Services if you are considering a space renovation in your area.

Capital Projects
Generally speaking, renovation projects over $25,000 are considered capital in nature and are not classified as a space renovation. Capital projects are administered by Capital Projects and Construction. Examples of capital projects are new construction, major renovations and additions to existing facilities and campus infrastructure upgrades. Capital projects are submitted by way of a Five Year Capital Plan Submission Form. If you are considering a capital project, consult Capital Projects and Construction to ensure that the proposal is consistent with the latest Campus Plan.

For 2006-07, capital projects under the jurisdiction of Capital  Projects and Construction include the following:

• Renovations to first floor Old Main
• Planning for Future "House of Learning"
