Operations Mission Statement
 
To assist all members of the campus community in the process of providing students with a quality education through the promotion, implementation and
maintenance of facilities and policies that provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and aesthetic environment.

Operations includes the following five divisions:

• Maintenance & Repair
• Grounds
• Custodial
• Security
• Copying Center

The Operations Department maintains 75 plus acres of ground, 5,000 square feet of drives and parking areas, with a capacity of 1000 plus vehicles. The department maintains 22 buildings containing nearly ½ million square feet of space.

The Operations Department is located in Trinity Hall, on the lower level, beneath the food service area. To access us, please use the door near the loading dock at the rear of the building. Our main office number is 434-3225. 

This department attempts to cover all work necessary in maintaining the proper operation, cleanliness of the campus, and the safety of persons and property, on a scheduled basis, in keeping with our allowable budget and personnel. The workload of the department is designed to utilize each and every hour a member of the department is on duty. The department does not normally maintain standby personnel, but if an emergency arises, personnel will be called from routinely scheduled work. It is highly desirable to anticipate needs in advance to effect the most efficient understanding, planning and completion of work.

For tracking purposes, ALL work requests and facilities room requests need to be placed through the USF intranet site, front page, under forms, click on  “work orders” or “room requests”.  Please do not ask our staff members to take a verbal or email request.

For emergency requests only (e.g. broken water pipes, etc.) please call extension 3225 or 3176. During off hours or if no answer, you may call Security at extension 3222.  

Please do not call the Operations Office with a work request, unless it is a true emergency. Thank you!
