Teamwork Makes Systems Run Efficiently

It takes real teamwork to keep MIT’s building systems operational 24/7 365 days a year. Repair & Maintenance (R&M) is comprised of teams that work together to keep MIT’s building mechanical and structural systems running efficiently and reliably. The three Campus Services Teams are first responders for hot or cold temperature issues and responsible for a specific set of buildings. A group of 10 Central Teams is responsible for major repairs, central systems maintenance, and backup support for the Campus Services Teams.

The Customer Service Center assists all of R&M with work order processing and customer service issues. In addition, a stock team provides materials for tradespeople, and a shuttle service transports employees and materials to various job sites around campus.

The Comprehensive Stewardship Group works in tandem with Repair & Maintenance and is responsible for 12 new or newly renovated buildings.
