Department Overview

Facilities Management is a team-oriented department that maintains buildings, grounds, and equipment on campus. Students work on various crews learning carpentry, electrical skills, grounds keeping, horticulture, recycling, housekeeping, painting, storeroom, motorpool, and office skills. Students' responsibilities in the various areas depend on experience, knowledge, and willingness to learn. There will usually be two to three vacancies in Facilities Maintenance due to the size of the department. Students are welcome to fill out applications for areas of interest.

Maintenance
This department is responsible for making needed repairs and maintaining all dorms on campus. Our main purpose is to provide quality service to fellow students at a low cost. We work in close contact with Physical Plant, but students do most of the work. Over the recent years of the crew's existence, there were savings as a result of the cost of dorm maintenance. Dorm maintenance also gives experience for further advancement for students to become staff personnel in the dorms, such as monitors.
