Customer Service

Information needed on an IT for an event appears below. Please put events in separate buildings on separate ITs.

Please notify Facilities of your needs as early as possible (a minimum of one week) before an event so we can schedule employees to work and adjust other plans to accommodate you. Many Facilities employees work 6:00 to 2:00, 6:30 to 2:30, or 7:00 to 3:00, so if we learn of an event at 4:00 p.m., we often cannot make arrangements until the next day. We realize the department sometimes doesn't learn of events until the last minute, but the sooner we know of an event, the better service we can provide.

Grounds

Grounds charges only for the cost of labor and materials used. For outside events, Grounds can

  • treat for ants
  • provide garbage cans
  • clean up afterwards

    Heavy equipment: Grounds works with Public Safety to barricade the event site so heavy vehicles don’t drive off paved areas and damage underground utilities like steam lines, chilled water lines, and sprinkler systems.

    Driving stakes for tents: Notify Facilities if stakes will be driven into the ground so we can check the location and prevent damage to underground utilities.

    Indoor Event Services: Grounds can supply rented plants. If you prefer, you can arrange directly for the rental of plants. While we do not endorse specific vendors, one local contact is The Plant Gallery (504-488‑8887) http://www.theplantgallery.com/plant_rentals.html.
    Typical rental costs are:

2-3 ft. Plants

Spathifillum (Peace Lily), Arbocola, Croton, Ficus

$20

4-5 ft. Plants

Areca palms, Ficus.

$25

6-7 ft. Plants

Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling

Again, early notification of the event helps Energy Management Coordinator Michael Crago schedule utilities.


Support Services

UGL_UNICCO also requested early notification of events so employees can rearrange their schedules and so normal cleaning plans are not disrupted.
