Classroom Furniture Repair Program

Division
Campus Operations & Maintenance (COM)

Overview

Campus Operations and Maintenance (COM) handled the repair and maintenance of classroom furniture across the 120 registrar-controlled classrooms and lecture halls. This work includes addressing issues with loose and fixed desks, seating, tables, lecterns, and other classroom furnishings to ensure that each space remains safe, functional, and comfortable for daily academic use. COM also oversees strategic purchasing to replace discontinued or unrepairable inventory as annual budgets allow, helping maintain consistent standards and reliability across campus learning environments.

Key Highlights

• Repaired more than 300 fixed seating tablets in Engineering lecture rooms
• Replaced over 261 chairs in Humanities
• Completed dozens of bench-top repairs in Frey Hall
• Replaced multiple shells and fixed seating in Harriman Hall
• Partnered with the Student Accessibility Support Center to ensure ADA compliance across all classrooms and lecture halls

Impact
Faculty and students now benefit from safer, cleaner, more accessible, and fully operable academic classrooms and lecture halls. This program enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of these spaces while ensuring ADA requirements are actively met—particularly supporting members of the disabled community.
