Building and Equipment Maintenance
The Building and Equipment Maintenance Division of the Department of Facilities Management conducts University-wide continuing inspections to identify, perform and evaluate maintenance needs within buildings and facilities.

Required periodic tests and inspections of elevators, fire protection systems, and boilers are performed under contract in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.
