The Housing Facilities office is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance operations, capital projects and the building services (custodial) program. Over 25 mechanics, custodians, and trades persons serve our 3,000 residents providing both preventive and corrective maintenance.
Do you need something fixed in your room? Submit a maintenance request online. Provide a detailed description in your repair as well as including building and apartment number and photo if needed. Routine maintenance is free so request repairs as soon as possible to prevent minor corrections from becoming major issues.
By submitting a request, you give Housing Maintenance staff permission to enter your apartment to correct the problem. Staff will knock and announce themselves before entering. Residents should notify the Housing & Residential Life staff if a request is not responded to within 72 hours.

If a repair cannot wait until the next business day you should contact your residence advisor or the area front desk. An emergency is defined as loss of water, electricity, electrical hazards, flooding, fire, elevator entrapment, gas leaks, lockouts or lock problems, or any condition thatposes a significant imminent threat or potential hazard to the student, the residence hall, apartment or the community.
Residence halls are inspected before, after and during the semester for damage and/or missing items. The cost of damages and repairs is billed to the account of the student found responsible. Take these steps to know your risk of liability:
Residents are encouraged to accept responsibility for their own and their guests' behavior. However, if damages occur in individual rooms or in the common areas of the floor or building and the parties responsible for the damage cannot be determined, costs will be divided among the room, floor or hall residents present at the time of the damage. Residents not on campus during this period may be exempt from charges and must inform their Residence Life Coordinator in writing as soon as possible after receiving the notice of group billing.
Let us help you. We do repairs, heavy-duty cleanup and replace anything that's broken.
