Maintenance
The University's Physical Plant provides
residence hall maintenance. All repair
requests must be reported to the Housing
Office at 665-6235 (6235 from an on
campus phone), or log on to
http://www.myschoolbuilding.com/myschoolbuilding/msb
to report your maintenance requests
directly to the Physical Plant. It is important that
you include a complete, specific, accurate
description of the necessary repairs. The
more specific you are, the faster your
repair is likely to be made. Physical
Plant and the HRL staff will appreciate
your patience on repair of non-emergency
items. Emergency situations such as no
lights or electricity, severe leaks, etc.,
should be reported immediately to the HRL
Office. If after 5 pm, you should
contact 665-6155 for assistance. To log

to request work orders from any

Exterminator
Services
All rooms are sprayed periodically by the
Physical Plant for insect control. If you
have a medical problem which requires
special arrangements, please notify the
HRL Office. Remember: Bugs love it when
you leave empty pizza boxes, drink cans,
dirty clothes, and old garbage in your
room! Please report your pest
control needs immediately to the HRL
Office.
Cleaning
You are
responsible for the care and cleanliness
of your own room. You may borrow a vacuum
cleaner by leaving your UM ID Card with
your RA. We encourage you to clean your
room regularly in order to maintain the
residence halls.
Custodians are responsible for routine
cleaning of the hallways, hall bathrooms,
and common areas of the building. They are
not responsible for cleaning the areas if
they have been unreasonable treated
(excessive amounts of trash left in the
halls or common areas; toilets which have
been intentionally stopped up; vomit in
the bathrooms; excessive amount of tracked
in mud, etc.). It is the responsibility of
the residents to keep those areas reasonably
clean by cleaning up after
themselves.
The
Dinning Hall & WOW
The Anna Irvin
Dining Hall is conveniently located in the
center of campus. It offers a wide variety
of food options. You can choose an entree,
with or without meat, and vegetables;
order a burger and fries from the grill;
make your own sandwich at the deli; create
your own salad at the salad bar; or enjoy
pizza and pasta from the pizza bar.
All residents, except those who live in
Peck Hall and upperclassmen in the new
Residential College, must purchase a meal plan.
There are four options from which to
choose: 5 meals per week, 10 meals per week, 15 meals per
week, or 19 meals per week.
WOW is a location to get great

assigned a UM Post Office Box for
