contractors are used

moving requests, hanging items on walls, etc.) – when in doubt, include your department account number.

Facility Work Request• Other things to remember:

– Budgets:• Buildings do not have their own budgets. All requests are either charged to

Maintenance or to the department submitting the request.

– Work order prioritization:• Emergency work requests (i.e.; gas leaks, water leaks/flooding, broken

glass that poses a safety concern, etc.) should be called in to x4133 and will be handled within 24 hours or less. After hours, contact Security at x4444.

• Routine work requests are typically addressed within 8 days• Work requests with a specific due date (movers, set-ups, etc.) will be

completed as requested

– Key requests:• Must come from the appropriate authority (i.e.; department heads)• Must contain name, department, room numbers that access is needed for –

we do not issue master keys• Keys are Carleton property and should be returned to Facilities as soon as

they are no longer needed or a faculty/staff member leaves
