This service includes maintaining, operating and repairing utility and building systems such as electrical systems, water, gas, heat, ventilation, plumbing, sewage collection, and elevators plus any equipment attached to these systems. It also includes maintaining and repairing the basic components of the University's buildings and environs such as foundations, walls, roofs, stairs, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, hardware, turf, sidewalks, streets, and ancillary facilities or equipment.
