Service Centre
The Service Centre is the university community’s primary contact center to report any building or land related issues or concerns on campus. Our team of representatives will triage requests and dispatch the appropriate teams to take care of the issue(s).
The Service Centre phone line is available Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Outside of these hours, you can leave a message on our voice mail. For emergency situations, your call will be connected through to our shift staff who will answer your call and coordinate a response to the emergency request.
For immediate assistance, please contact the Service Centre and identify the location and issue about a space on campus that needs attention.

Facilities Managers
Facilities Managers act as the primary contact person for faculties and departments for any requests, issues or concerns regarding their space. Each building on campus is assigned a Facilities Manager, who is responsible for working closely with faculties and departments to understand their needs and expectations in support of the university’s vision and mission. Facilities Managers have a thorough understanding of the services provided by Facilities and work closely with internal and external service providers and relevant stakeholders to efficiently prioritize work and ensure seamless delivery of services.
You can look up the name and contact information for your Facilities Manager directly or contact the Service Centre at 604-822-2173.
