Facilities Services

Every autumn, as colorful leaves start to fall and pile up around campus, Facilities Services sees an uptick in inquiries from staff and students who are curious to learn more about leaf removal strategies. 

In spring 2024, Facilities Services received a request for building improvements and maintenance at the Oak Creek Center for Urban Horticulture. Al Shay, senior horticulture instructor, was concerned about several aging structures on the property. Projects included roof replacement, rust proofing and sealing, painting, window replacement, lighting improvements and more.

Why do there seem to be so many burned-out light bulbs in the Learning Innovation Center's signature, arena-style classrooms?

On April 10, 2024, Facilities Services and arborists from Greer Brand Industries Inc. collaborated on a project to remove a large windmill palm tree from the CEOAS Admin Building area and replant it outside of Centro Cultural César Chávez.
