maintains 3 university owned automobiles for employee use on University
business only. Mileage costs must be charged to a specific account.
In general, vehicles will be reserved for use on a first come, first served
basis, without regard to destination or duration of the trip.
Arrangements for the use of these automobiles can be made by contacting the Physical Plant Director's Office. Once a reservation is confirmed, it shall take preference over other users. Vehicles must be reserved at and returned to the Physical Plant Office. Each person driving a university vehicle must be an eligible university employee and have a valid operator's license. The driver is expected to replace fuel using the credit card provided and to see that the vehicle is returned to its regular parking place in as good a condition as it was when received. IU Southeast has an agreement with a local vehicle rental agency to provide vans for use by employees on University business. The vans are available on a reimbursable basis. Arrangements to obtain a van or car can be made by contacting the Physical Plant Office at 941-2330. |
| Most jobs done by the Physical
Plant require that a work order is to be processed first. This can
be done through e-mail to: phpwkord@ius.edu. Each request should
include a description of the work to be done, the location, name, phone
number, and department of the person making the request.
A rule of thumb in deciding if a certain job needs a work request is: if it will take more than one person and more than a few minutes; send a work order. Emergency situations should be phoned in to the Physical Plant, ext. 2330, but all other requests should be received in writing. Large remodeling projects are also done under the supervision of the Physical Plant Administrative Office, but must have funding and must be approved by the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Affairs. For many jobs, the cost of labor will be covered by the Physical Plant; however, for some projects, the cost of materials may be charged to the requester. The Administrative Office also acts as a liaison between IUS and IU Bloomington, and between IUS and the surrounding community. In this capacity, the Administration of the Physical Plant, under the direction of the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Affairs, is actively involved in long and short-term planning and development of the campus. |
| IUS has a recycling program. Bins are located in each building where white office paper, computer paper, cardboard (boxes should be broken down) and aluminum cans should be put for recycling. If an in-office recycling box is needed, contact the Physical Plant. Confidential papers are picked up by Physical Plant and destroyed per department request. |
| The Physical Plant manages
the consumption of electricity, natural gas and water on both a short and
long term basis in order to conserve the resources without compromising
the quality of the work and school environment.
Energy Management Tips: - Thermostats should be set at 68-70 degrees in winter and 78-80 degrees in summer. - Close drapes or blinds to reduce loss of heat or air conditioning. - Use natural light whenever possible. - Turn on energy consuming equipment only when needed. - Purchase energy efficient equipment whenever possible. - Limit use of facilities during "off hours." |
