Facilities Maintenance & Additional Services

The Facilities department is legislatively funded to maintain campus buildings as originally constructed. Facilities Maintenance includes routine work performed to maintain the campus grounds, utility systems, and building exteriors/interiors. Any work performed, whether it be maintenance or other services, is either done or managed by the Facilities department. Designated Facilities staff will perform routine maintenance at their own expense across campus. 

Facilities staff may provide additional services at the request of department's across campus. Minor alterations and modifications to buildings, structures, and grounds that exceed the original construction, as well as requests that are outside the scope of routine maintenance, are paid for by the requesting department. Costs include materials and labor that is specific to each trade within the Facilities organization. All modifications, remodeling, or attachment to UVU Facilities and Grounds must be approved, in advance, by the UVU Facilities Department.
