Use of Grounds, Lawns and Sport Courts
- Plan ahead for events held in outdoor spaces. If you want to use the outdoor spaces for an event, contact the HRL Facilities Office in advance. We can help with power, water, tables/chairs, trash cans, and so forth.
Year-Around Wear, Tear and Repair
Regular preventative maintenance occurs throughout the academic year. We ask that you report any issues you have in your living areas, so we can take care of it.
You will be notified before the time of the maintenance so you can prepare your living space (if needed). All maintenance personnel who need to enter your room will knock THREE times and announce themselves BEFORE entering the space.
If you are not home when the work is completed, personnel will leave a card letting you know what was done, the date and time, and the technician.
FGSH Neighborhoods: As a resident, if you want university staff to wear protective shoe coverings over their shoes when entering your apartment, request a “shoe covering is required” door sign from the Community Relations Office. The sign must always be posted on the door.
