The Building Services Department operates a dedicated two-person team known as the Special Projects Crew (SPC). This team focuses on addressing specialized campus maintenance needs that are best handled outside of regular business hours to minimize disruption for faculty, staff, and students.
Working after hours from Sunday through Thursday, 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., the SPC operates behind the scenes, yet their efforts make a visible impact across campus. They specialize in services such as carpet shampooing and extraction, floor scrubbing, stripping, and waxing, hallway burnishing, detailed office cleaning, and urgent late-night responses to incidents like water leaks, helping to mitigate further damage to University property.
While 85% of SPC's time is dedicated to these special projects, the remaining time is spent relocating equipment to ensure seamless operations for the following tasks.
