Facilities Management

Welcome to the Washington & Lee University Facilities Management home page. My name is Mike Carmagnola, Chief Facilities Officer, and I’m happy to introduce you to our organization.

Facilities Management is responsible for all planning; design and construction; and maintenance and operations for all University-owned facilities. We are also responsible for managing the University-wide Capital process as well as all space, finish, furniture and equipment standards. Facilities Management directs the activities of all outside consultants who work on our facilities including architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors. Facilities Management is also responsible for housekeeping; grounds and landscaping; and setting up special events.

In summary, Facilities Management is responsible for all University-owned facilities and is here to serve and support the mission and goals of the University.

There are many ways to access Facilities Management services; however the two most common are as follows:

• Front Office – Call 8490 for general information, general questions or to report emergencies such as leaking pipes, gas smell, and leaking roofs.
• Work Order – Use the Work Order Link to request general repair and maintenance services or for small projects such as building walls, installing shelves, hanging pictures, and moving furniture.
• Emergencies – For emergencies during weekends and non-business hours, please call Security at 8400 and report the situation to them.

Facilities Management prides itself on being a service-oriented department. The University community is our customer, and our goal for each encounter is to provide the best service possible. Our organization chart will outline who is directly responsible for what specific area and should help you navigate the starting point for our services.

We are focused currently on efforts to save energy, and one of these initiatives involves a new Termperature Regulation Policy established this year. The short video below with Scott Beebe, director of facilities management, explains this policy and offers tips on dealing with temperature in your work space.

Sincerely,
Michael Carmagnola, AIA, MBA
Chief Facilities Officer
