COMMUNITY
BASED MAINTENANCE
For close to two decades, part of our maintenance staff have
been assigned to work specifically in one community's buildings.�
This community-based approach, similar to how our housekeeping
staff have been assigned, provides a local expert who is familiar
with the systems, fixtures, and uniqueness of your residence
halls. |
|
|
|
|
| Currently, two maintenance staff serve
your needs in each of our five communities -- one for general
maintenance services and one for carpentry-related repairs.� |
|
| |
Community

plumbing in bathrooms (sinks, showers, toilets & urinals),
electrical outlets and fixtures (light fixtures and bulbs,
exit signs, outlets, ranges), heat convectors, fan coil
units, air handlers
Carpentry

WORK IN THE SUMMER
Facilities Maintenance staff work all summer to prepare our
halls for fall semester residents and summer guests as do our
housekeepers.� Each crew assesses room and building conditions
after residents leave each May and attempt to prioritize and
complete all essential repairs possible in the time permitted
in our summer crew work schedule.
In addition, we regularly use the summer months to concentrate
on projects that would be too disruptive to residents during
the academic year.� New carpets, furniture and mattresses are
installed, rooms and lounges are painted, and light bulbs and
faucet washers are replaced along with dozens of other tasks
performed as our full-time and summer student staff pass through
the halls.

| FLOODS� &� FIRE ...AND... ICE�
& SNOW |
Cleaning up after floods, drain back-ups
and fires draws staff from Building Services, Facilities Maintenance
and our management team to respond to emergencies.�
We also respond to snow, ice, and other weather emergencies
and repairs caused by hurricane and electrical storm damage. |
