Fire Alarm Inspection
Facilities and Services will oversee the inspection of fire alarm systems during the week of July 3rd.
This is primarily a visual inspection, but there will be brief, intermittent activations of alarm horns and strobe lights as part of inspection procedures.
Elevators will be included in the alarm inspection. Signage will be posted when an elevator is taken out of service. Every effort will be made to ensure an operational elevator is available in buildings with multiple elevators as well as to return an elevator to service as quickly as possible.
New Work Order System Coming July 1
Beginning July 1, Facilities & Services will be releasing a new work order system called MaxPanda. This system will be replacing the current SchoolDude platform.
There are various reasons for the change, but we anticipate that the impact on the campus community will be positive.
Highlights include:
