Facilities Services

At some point, you may need renovations or alterations to your work environment. These can be  arranged for by the submission of an electronic Physical Plant Work Order.

Make sure you print a copy of the submission confirmation page so that you have a hard-copy record. The confirmation page will appear after you hit “SEND.” If you have trouble completing the form, contact us at 856 566-6002 and we will help you with the submission.

Larger projects may require architectural or engineering support. If you think this is the case, the Office of Facilities Management will review the project with you. Then we will help determine the best course of action to take. This will help you bring the project in “on-time and within budget.”

If you need a climate-control adjustment in your area or if you find an unsafe condition (a leaky pipe, torn carpets, a burnt-out light, etc.), contact Physical Plant directly at 856 566-6032. and they will dispatch a mechanic to address the problem as soon as possible.

Sign Services

Depending on your specific need, sign requests may be met either by the SOM-Office of Facilities Management or through the University’s Facilities Planning and Construction department. In either case, simply contact us with your need and we will assist you.

The University Policy regarding signs is available by clicking here.

Locksmith Services

The University’s Locksmith Services falls under the direction of the UMDNJ-Department of Public Safety. You may not, under any circumstances arrange for an outside locksmith service to perform work on this, or any university campus or facility.

The services provided by UMDNJ-Public Safety includes the installation of new locks, cutting of keys, opening locked file cabinets and the design and installation of alarm/security systems.

These services are arranged for by the submission of a locksmith request form or through the University General Stores office (University Educational Center Room 1155-/6-6211).

The form should be routed as follows:

1. Complete the form, providing the contact name and telephone number, as well as the index number to be charged;
2. Send the form to Facilities Management (University Doctors’ Pavilion - Suite 3200/6-6002) for approval.

All forms are signed and faxed to Public Safety the same day they are received. This step does not delay the process, but does allow for a method of tracking requests.

According to the Department of Public Safety policy on locksmith services, keys should be issued no later than five (5) working days from the receipt of the approved request.

Please be advised that there is a $5.00 charge for each key issued by Public Safety. This fee is refundable upon the surrender of the key.

You will be contacted by Public Safety regarding the schedule for work other than key requests.
