Plant Operations Maintenance Operations Funding

Plant Operations uses Maintenance and Operations (M&O) funding to provide basic utilities, repairs and ongoing maintenance costs in campus buildings, excluding residence halls and most athletic and auxiliary facilities. Individual unit funds are used for each department’s equipment and service enhancements.

As a general rule, Plant Operations is responsible for components that are common to most buildings. Imagine an empty classroom or office with no furniture, office machines, laboratory equipment or other added features – the cost of maintaining this space is covered by M&O funds. Any addition to this space would normally be covered by departmental funds and would be considered billable work.

Examples include: + Repairs resulting from normal wear and tear, including plumbing, central HVAC and electrical systems.

+ Maintenance of the building envelope – windows, foundation, walls and floors.

+ Maintaining clean and safe campus buildings.

Examples include:

+ Minor renovations, conversion of space, installation and/ or maintenance of specialized equipment affecting the building systems, such as fume hoods and acid drains.

+ Repair of department equipment, such as window air conditioners, furniture, etc.
