The Facilities Operations department is responsible for maintaining the facilities infrastructure at the Citrus Research and Education Center. 

For facilities issues, use the Work Request link below to describe the nature of the work requested and indicate the location.  If the work is a true facilities emergency, please write ‘emergency’ in the subject line.

Large items, such as equipment, are not to be moved by faculty, program staff or facilities.  This is for the safety of employees and well-being of the building and equipment.  Elite Moving Company has been contracted to assist with moving large items around the center.  Please contact Bob O’Neill in facilities to obtain assistance with scheduling a move.  Individual labs will receive chargebacks for the costs associated with such moves.
