The Work Management group consists of the Help Desk and Asset Management teams.

Help Desk

The help desk is the "front door" to facilities services. Customers submit requests through an online system to query information and costs, as well as receive status updates via email. The help desk team routes submitted tickets  to the correct trade shop to assist in solving the issue or concern. On average, the help desk receives 30,000 service requests per year.

Additionally, the help desk team uses a Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) that tracks and monitors more than 9,000 pieces of equipment. This includes mechanical systems, heating/cooling systems, sprinkler systems, cooling towers, landscaping equipment, and electric carts. The help desk routinely communicates with building liaisons about impacts to their buildings. 

Asset Management

Asset Management works alongside the help desk and keeps all CMMS records up to date as our campus changes (adding and deactivating equipment, rooms, buildings, etc.). They also track pertinent warranty information and operate the preventive/predictive maintenance program.
