The Facilities Department is committed to an extensive Preventive Maintenance (PM) program. The PM program utilizes a computer database to generate work orders for inspections, lubrications and minor adjustments to critical equipment throughout the campus comprising the major building systems, including; lighting, plumbing, pumping, and environmental systems. The purpose of the PM program is to reduce breakdowns, increase the useful life of equipment and provide the comfortable and safe environment that staff, faculty and students have come to expect. While mostly unnoticed, the PM program is an integral part of Facilities’ services and helps reduce trouble calls. Generally, the same facilities staff that complete PM tasks also respond to work requests.
