The Maintenance & Operations (M & O) Department is responsible for providing students, faculty, staff and visitors with a safe working and learning environment. We believe that well maintained facilities, grounds and campus infrastructures enhance the educational, co-curricular and social experiences of our campus community. Our responsibilities run the gamut from custodial services to emergency preparedness. We coordinate the campus recycling efforts and even deliver the mail.
M&O also provides set up and clean up for campus events. Public spaces include classrooms, workrooms, conference rooms and restrooms. The M&O day and evening crews include mechanics, ground workers, laborers and custodians.
