Facility Requests

The purpose of the work order is to initiate a task, clarify what is to be done, specify completion dates, and give special instructions as needed to the NLTCC Department of Facilities. Work orders can be generated through a service request form (work request form) that is submitted to your campus's Facility Coordinator.  

When is a work order required?

• To request a non-critical maintenance task that does not pose an immediate risk to facilities, systems, equipment, or components. Some examples are removing old equipment, setting up new equipment, painting, or changing light bulbs.
• To request preventative maintenance on a piece of equipment to keep existing equipment in good working condition, prevent equipment downtime, increase the life expectancy of assets, decrease the number of major repairs, and control expenses.
• To request a set of inspection points requiring maintenance in preparation or response to an inspection or visit.
• To request urgent/emergent/immediate repair of equipment or a facility failure.
• To request corrective maintenance generated as a result of a regular inspection, preventive maintenance, emergency, etc., which identifies the failure in a reasonable time for corrective maintenance to be planned and scheduled. 
• To request assistance from the Facilities Department or to notify your campus's Facility Coordinator of an issue.
