Work Request and Prioritization Procedures

We accept maintenance inquiries via 973-655-5444, facilities@montclair.edu, or Nuvolo.  Upon receipt, Facilities staff assess service requests and convert them to Work Orders, which are then assigned to the appropriate division work unit.  Facilities staff apprise requestors of lengthy repair timelines and delays in scheduled work. Please contact the Facilities Customer Service Center for updates about individual service requests.

Email notifications are sent to the requestor from facilities@montclair.edu at three stages of the Work Order lifecycle:

  1. The request is approved
  2. A technician is scheduled to perform the work
  3. The Work Order is complete 

Additional notifications may be sent when:

  • Area Not Accessible– the technician could not access the space
  • Waiting for Approval– Funding source pending approval
  • Waiting for Contractor Labor– External contractor scheduling is in progress
  • Waiting for Parts– Materials have been ordered

A priority level is assigned to each request using APPA Facilities Standards and the details you provide.  Please include photos, documents, or any previous history of work for clarity. Please review priority levels and expected response times before following up with inquiries to the FCSC.  Status and technician notifications are also available in several ways:

  1. Email notifications– Review messages from facilities@montclair.edu
  2. Online portal– Log in and input your Work Order number to view status updates
  3. Contact the Facilities Customer Service Center– reach out to FCSC staff via email or telephone

For emergencies or urgent issues, please call the FCSC at 973-655-5444 immediately.

Submit a Service Request

We prioritize schedules to respond first to requests for:

1.  Emergency
2.  Urgent, and
3.  Rush work

Response times vary based on the type of request, technician availability, and overall campus activity levels.  Emergency work requests are processed immediately and assigned to the appropriate work unit for response and resolution to assist in protecting life safety and the campus infrastructure. Requests designated as Deferred are tabled and reviewed during the annual maintenance planning process.
