university facilities managementUniversities and public buildings are exposed to a great deal of wear and tear as a result of the sheer amount of traffic that they receive. General upkeep and maintenance of these types of buildings can be challenging to handle in-house and as a result, many university and public building managers outsource their facilities maintenance services. By doing so, they ensure that the building and its grounds have preventative maintenance measures in place.

A professional facilities maintenance company should be focused on improving and maintaining the quality of the physical facilities of the university or public building. Below are 7 essential facilities maintenance services that universities and public buildings require:

  • Preventative maintenance to ensure that all facilities and features are kept in excellent and safe condition. This can involve painting, cleaning, touching up and minor repairs.
  • Power generation and onsite fueling to ensure that the campus or building is always fully operational, at all times.
  • Security and access control systems to ensure safety of the premises.
  • Janitorial services to ensure that the building is hygienically clean and presentable at all times.
  • Landscaping, interior plant maintenance & snow removal services for the general upkeep of the premises and to ensure the facilities can be used uninterrupted.
  • Plumbing and HVAC system preventative maintenance to avoid potentially expensive repairs and breakdowns in the future.
  • Air quality testing and mold restoration to ensure that the buildings offer healthy interior environments.

Partnering with a professional facilities maintenance company, preferably one that has experience in construction services, will ensure that the university or public building is kept in a condition that is considered safe, secure and healthy for those making use of it.

Some news from our Texas branch

We also recently completed Hotel Eleven in Austin in time for their Grand Opening.
