For facilities issues, 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. 

To request a vehicle from the vehicle pool, use the above form and indicate the date and time the vehicle will be needed.  To operate any CREC vehicle, you must complete and return a driver qualification record form to Perry Love (ext. 1-8609).

To request a key, follow the ‘forms’ link to the left and complete the Key request form. Deliver the form in person to the individual at the Facilities desk in Building 7192. You will be contacted when the key is available.

Large items, such as equipment, are not 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.
