Correction: Work requests for building, grounds, or custodial issues should be submitted via the Facilities Management website, under the link "Submit a Request", as usual, and not FacilitiesLink. FacilitiesLink is our campus space database and does not directly link to the current work orders system used by Facilities Management.

Update: Facilities Management will be reaching out via email to all of last year's Building Coordinators to verify those people are still willing/able to serve as Building Liaison this year. This year's Building Liaisons will be encouraged to carefully read this email and direct any questions about changes to duties to Facilities Management at space@humboldt.edu.

Original message below:

Starting this semester, the duties of Building Coordinator will be reduced and the title will be changed to Building Liaison.  The duties of the Building Coordinator have not been reviewed for some time, upon a recent review it was determined that six of the duties are no longer relevant. The USFAC and Presidential Advisory Committee have reviewed and approved the changes.  Please refer to the information below for the details.  

There are currently seven duties listed in the annual agreement.  FM and RM&SS identified that six of those duties should be assigned to other entities.

1. Notify the University Police of any existing disturbance or conditions which might develop into a disturbance and which may require assistance to resolve.
 a. It is every employee’s responsibility to notify UPD for any life/safety situation.

2. Ensure hallways and corridors are kept free of obstruction of any kind which could create an egress or safety issue in the event of a fire or other emergency.  Report violations of such to Facilities Management to be resolved as necessary.
 a. It is every employee’s responsibility to notify Facilities Management of any life/safety situation.
 b. Facilities Management employees conduct visual sweeps during their normal duties.

3. Ensure visual materials (such as artwork, posters, bulletin boards, etc.) displayed within the building/facility have been approved for display under other University policy and/or procedure.
 a. RM, FM, UPD management will be given guidelines of what can be removed when they are walking through campus.

4. Communicate normal operating days/hours for buildings and/or areas under their jurisdiction to assist Facilities Management with determining building entry access schedule (i.e., days/times when door will be locked/unlocked).
 a. RM, UPD, and FM will determine standard building hours and there will be a process to request an exception to standard hours.

5. Authorize Facilities Management to issue keys for exterior and interior doors.
 a. This duty will remain until the key policy is updated

6. Initiate maintenance and operational service request with Facilities Management.
 a. Any employee can complete a work order request thru Facilities Link.

7. Inform building occupants and other constituents of pending events and activities which may impact normal building schedules and operations. 
 a. This is the one duty that will be kept.  Since this is the remaining duty the name will change from Building Coordinator to Building Liaison.  This name change will also assist to prevent confusion with the duties of the building coordinator for Emergency Management.
