Facilities Management can perform installation work when the maintenance schedule allows. Requests for such work can be submitted by filing a Project Request Form. Please remember when requesting a project, all emergency maintenance items will supersede the completion of a project request. Typical project requests include installing new phone and network connections, moving furniture or offices, requesting trash cans for an event, installing additional lighting, adding a window to a door, etc.

Facilities Management is responsible for the moving needs of the various University departments.

All keys to Arkansas Tech University facilities and property are the property of the University. Keys are issued by the Arkansas Tech University Office of Facilities Management.
All key requests must be made using the Key Request Form located on the forms page of the Facilities Management website. The request must be signed by a dean for an academic area or a vice president for non academic departments.
The duplication of keys is strictly prohibited. All keys will be made by the University's locksmith at Facilities Management's discretion.
All employees accepting keys must provide their signature when accepting or relinquishing a key. Signing for a key signifies understanding and acceptance of the Arkansas Tech University key policy. Multiple keys may be issued to an individual, not a department. Each key will require a separate signature. Each key made after the effective date of this policy is stamped with its own individual identification number and listed in the key database for tracking purposes. When a key is issued to an employee its listing is updated to indicate the employee it has been assigned to.
If a key is lost or stolen, the appropriate dean, director, department head or vice president should be notified immediately. The employee should also notify Facilities Management and the office of Public Safety. The individual losing the key and/or the department who authorizes the issuance of the key will be assessed a fee in accordance with the following schedule:
$20 per each individual key
$50 per each sub master or master key
$200 for each building entrance key
The loss of a building entrance key will require the buildings entrances to be rekeyed to maintain security. The department who originally requested the employees entrance key will pay the cost to rekey the building. In the event a lost master, sub master, or individual key requires a rekeying project, the department who originally request the employees keys will pay the cost of the rekey project.
Upon the employees termination, retirement or other separation, the employee must promptly return their keys to the Key Office at Facilities Management. The key holder of record must return their own keys and sign the key card. Final paychecks may have deductions made, or be held, if all keys are not returned. Any keys missing at this time will be assessed the same fees as lost keys. If the missing keys result in a rekeying project the employees department may decide whether any necessary rekeying costs will be paid by the department or the employee.
The Landscape and Grounds department is responsible for mowing and trimming laws, shrubs, trees and the general landscaping for Tech facilities. The grounds crew also maintains the irrigation system and flower plantings.
During winter months, the grounds crew is responsible for the removal of ice and snow on walkways and building entrances.
The collection of campus litter is done on a scheduled routine organized by Robert Condley, Landscape and Grounds Supervisor.
