Urgent Requests

Urgent custodial requests include situations requiring immediate action to address health, safety, or operational risks, such as flooding, major spills, or hazards that may impact building occupants or operations.

  • During normal service hours (weekdays):
    • Please submit a custodial work request through Archibus. This enables a prompt response and ensures appropriate actions are taken to support a safe, clean, and welcoming campus environment.
