Building Services
The Operations and Maintenance team for south campus is Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI). JCI holds the 35 year maintenance contract for the 2020 buildings. If you need temperature controls adjusted, photos hung, or have a building concern, submit a work order, click "guest login", choose South Campus, and then the building. Please do not attempt any DIY in this building.
All building maintenance requests and/or concerns need to be addressed to JCI, by way of a work ticket. For additional information on the JCI scope and process, please contact Robin Walker.
JCI has provided two documents to aid in submitting your request:
Custodial services the building daily; however, trash pickup will only be from the centralized trash locations. These locations are class labs, research labs, break rooms, printer rooms, and the various five compartment trash cans throughout the building. Individual office trash cans will not be emptied, nor were they provided. If you do elect to have one in your office and/or your workstation, you will need to empty into one of the listed locations.

Title 24 - Controlled outlets
This building has Title 24 compliant controlled circuits, which many of your previous offices, workstations, and/or labs may not have had. It is a recent requirement, of new construction buildings, to have some outlets that will turn off during non-business hours, to conserve energy. An example of a controlled outlet, at a lab bench, is shown to the right. Note: right outlet is a controlled outlet, not left outlet. The outlets at both workstations and within offices are also identified on the face plate.
Do not use controlled outlets for equipment that needs to run overnight.
Gas Cylinder Storage
Gas cylinder storage is located in the basement of Sustainability Research and Engineering (SRE) building, which may be accessed through the loading dock. Please work with your school for access to SRE Room 012B and 012C, if you need it.
