As we begin another academic year, the Facilities Management team outlines the process for reporting routine maintenance and repair requests for campus buildings and facilities.
For residence halls, University Apartments and the Health Sciences Campus, requests should be submitted through the online work order request portal Facilities Service Desk.
For academic buildings on the Downtown and Evansdale areas of campus, requests should be submitted through building supervisors. Find the list of all building supervisors.
If you need to make a work order request but do not have access to the WVU Portal, you can fill out the Facilities Service Request form.
Those who encounter emergency maintenance requests on any area of campus should immediately contact the 24/7 Emergency Help Line at 304-293-HELP (304-293-4357). Emergency maintenance requests are classified as facility needs that pose an imminent threat to life, property or security, which includes the following:
• Loss of electrical power to a building, floor or room.
• Electrical breakers tripped.
• Water leaks or flooding.
• Clogged toilet or urinal.
• Clogged sink or drain line.
• Students locked out of a residence hall room.
• Fire alarm.
• HVAC not functioning.
• Loss of domestic water.
