Services

Serving the customer is a high priority of Facilities Management. We are proud to be stewards of our University.

Furniture Procurement

Effective July 1, 2006 FMD will eliminate the purchasing surcharge on all furniture. All furniture purchase must be pre-approved by FMD. Purchasing cards may not be used for furniture purchases. All purchases must go through FMD and must follow University standards, policy and procedures (as per U of S Policy #3.05). University standards have been developed to ensure a safe, productive and comfortable workplace. FMD has the following committees to facilitate a proactive approach in furniture quality and maintenance:

• Accessibility committee
• Classroom Enhancement
• Ergonomic Committee

To contact the Ergonomic Committee phone 966-2046.

Facilities Management will continue to:

• maintain and repair furniture in classroom and teaching spaces, common and public areas.
• provide estimates for repairs to furniture that is no longer covered by manufacturers’ warranties.

Departments and units will be responsible for repairs to furniture in their office spaces, general office areas, and faculty and staff lounges.

To better serve the University’s furniture needs, FMD has developed the Furniture QUICKShip program.

What is Quick Ship? In a hurry to get your work space up and running? Need to get a jump start on your furniture needs by utilizing the furniture Quick Ship program. FMD stocks workstations, filing pedestals, filing cabinets, book cases, and coat trees. Task, meeting, guest and classroom chairs are also available to quickly meet the needs of the University Community.
