Work Order Procedure

Facilities and Grounds

Maintenance Requests

Asset Essentials is Hampshire College's maintenance management system. This service allows you to submit repair requests to our Facilities and Grounds Department for any space owned by Hampshire College.

  • Requesting maintenance service in your room or mod authorizes a Facilities and Grounds employee to enter the area you specify. Once Facilities and Grounds arrives for a work order they will knock on the door several times. If no one answers the door, Facilities and Grounds employees will key into the space, announce themselves, and complete the task.
  • You do not need to be present for the repair work to be done. Facilities employees do not work in a student's room or mod before 9 a.m. unless there are special reasons for doing so.

The work order system is not intended for emergencies. If you have an emergency, please contact Campus Safety and Wellbeing at 413.559.5424.
