If your facility could talk, what would it complain about? I’ll start; elevators. We have just begun to modernize our four cars, but our elevators have been nothing short of a nightmare for operations. Two of our passenger elevators are out of service, and one is currently being renovated. This leaves us with only one operational passenger car…

Interested in anyone’s experience with marmoleum and/or epoxy for meeting room flooring. Thanks.

I had hoped to send this early this morning, but as we know, operations often pull us in many directions. Today was fun with elevators.

Every week is a new chance to make our spaces better, safer, and more welcoming. Here’s to the behind-the-scenes heroes of campus life. Cheers!

Thank you for your response!

Happy Friday, friends! What is one small change you’ve made recently that has positively impacted your operations?

I would like to discuss the responsibilities for cleaning and maintenance in the food service areas. I understand that some of this may depend on contractual agreements. Could you clarify what responsibilities fall under facilities operations, custodial, and maintenance, and what responsibilities belong to the food service vendors? Minor repairs…

🎆🎇 Wishing everyone a very happy July 4th! Please stay safe and enjoy the celebrations!

Here’s the link to our policy. Please let me know if you have any questions https://www.usf.edu/student-affairs/msc/plan-and-market-events/frequently-asked-questions.aspx

No experience here, we use EMS.

Brian, we also use EMS but had a presentation by Mazevo yesterday as part of a state system mini summit and, safe to say, most of us came away impressed. Florida State U has Mazevo and loves it. I suggest connecting with Brett Eustice Operations, Assoc. Dir. & CES Interim Program Dir. beustice@fsu.edu

I like that Idea. I’ll also be interested to see what others think.

Good morning. We use Spotify primarily. Sometimes we make playlists and go with that.

Good morning, does anyone use a risk matrix to help determine if insurance is needed for events they are hosting or holding on your campus??? If you do, are you willing to share?

Thank you friends.

Good morning ACUI, we don’t receive many tornado warnings, but we recently had a campus alert. Upon the event’s conclusion, we realized we don’t have a protocol for tornados, hurricanes yes, but not the swirling winds. I’d be interested in hearing from those with experience, what do you do in your buildings when an alarm sounds.…

I posted a question not long ago about student unions/centers reporting to aux services. New question; is anyone familiar with a model where the union reports through campus facilities?

Thanks, friends.

I’m a big fan of KI and specifically the Strive; comfortable, the non-cushion version is easy to clean, and stacks high.
