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 who work together to keep MIT’s building mechanical and structural systems working efficiently and reliably. Five local Zone Teams are each responsible for a specific set of buildings. A group of Central Teams is responsible for major repairs, central systems maintenance, and backup support for the local Zones. The R&M Support Team assists the Central and Zone Teams and also addresses the needs of our customers. In addition, a stockroom group provides materials for the department, and a shuttle service transports employees and materials to various points on campus.

Request a Service

Basic services are considered typical community services and special services include a fee. For example, repairing existing locks and door hardware are community services. Changing or installing new locks is a special service. When filling out a Building Repair Form or when entering a requisition in SAP, remember to write down the Work Order number in case you need to refer to it later.
