Maintenance

How do I request building maintenance or repairs?

To request a repair or to report a building maintenance issue in or around the Business Building (ex: light bulb replacement, carpet cleaning, squeaking door, spill on carpet, etc.), please ask your department contact to submit a work order into Service Management.

What if it is an Emergency?

Call the RIIT Group at 865-0366 with all urgent issues such as water leaks, an overflowing toilet, safety hazards, broken glass, etc., and the issue will be referred immediately to the OPP Work Reception Center. If it is after hours and the RIIT Group offices are closed, please report all facilities emergencies directly to the work reception center at 865-4731. 

Temperature

The Office of Physical Plant (OPP) maintains the heating and air conditioning systems within the Business Building.  In accordance with Penn State Policy AD64 on energy conservation, every effort is made to maintain temperatures in occupied space (offices, classrooms, etc.) of 70 degrees in the winter, and 75 degrees in the summer.  If you feel your office or classroom is exceedingly warm or cold, please call the RIIT Group at 865-0366 and we will send someone to measure the temperature.  If it is found to be outside the acceptable range, it will be referred to OPP HVAC technicians to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible.
