ADM

My building is not on the list. I am just commenting in general on what I see around campus.If you want building specific responses, say that up front.

ADM

I deal with Physical Plant during Homecoming daily. I think they do a great job. Homecoming is a vey big event and I feel that we get great services.

ADM

We need hot water in restrooms, and they can be kept a lot cleaner. As well as classroom and Office building.

ADM

As one who generally only goes to ADM and SVC I have generally been impressed with the quality of cleanliness and upkeep on grounds around ADM, especially with parking garage construction. Bathrooms are always clean, although sometimes very cold. Overall I am impressed with Physical Plant upkeep of facilities.

ADM

Sorry, I dont have too much experience directly with phsyical plant people, so have to be neutral

ADM

Chalkboards in LBR 252 and PMA need more frequent cleaning.

ADM

The heating and cooling systems in the ADM building are ancient. My office has a temperature spike every afternoon that ensures that I never wear long sleeves. Even in the dead of winter. I doubt theres anything you can do about this, but thought you should know.Also, the latest paint scheme for the ADM building is an eye-sore. Ive heard that its supposed to be faux-brick, but Ive never seen brick that was orange and purple. Im not sure this is what you meant when you asked about building appearance, but just in case...

ADM

I am in the UTC center so most of this does not apply to me.

ADM

We are not supported by the Main Campus Physical Plant personnel. Sorry to be of little assistance.

ADM

Thank you all!

ADM

I am in Davis Hall (St. Pete campus). I didnt see it on the list of buildings for the last question.

ADM

TVB building is not on your list.When services are rendered such as carpet cleaning, pest control...no one is notified that the work is going to be done, or has been done. This would be helpful communication to those who are charged with getting these tasks accomplished.

ADM

This was sent to St. Pete --our building is DAV

ADM

My experience with plant staff has generally been good. The janatorial staff in the building I have used most (Cooper) has always been friendly and helpful. They seem overwhelmed at times by student carelessness with restrooms and such. Some problems are structural--narrow staircases, the fact nonsmokers have to walk through smokers to get into buildings (at times, anyway).

ADM

WHY ARE MOST OF THE EMPLOYEES SO UNHAPPY

ADM

We should look at updating the outside of Alumni Bldg. Doing a great job with service

ADM

Staf are usually very helpful...the new buildings are nice, but many buildings are just old and they are showing their age.....but you all keep them decent looking..........

ADM

I would like to explain that classrooms and restrooms are clean and well stocked at the beginning of each day. However, trying to keep them maintained when the students create such a mess is your biggest challenge. I dont think the students take enough interest in cleaning up after themselves and this is not the fault of Physical Plant in any way.

ADM

Everything is just fine. The only thing I would like is shelves in my office, they have requested them to be put up but I just dont get them and being here for 12 years I think we shouldnt have to request for an order to be done just come around once every 3 months and ask if we the Admin. buldg. need anything and I mean every office. That is all...

ADM

While the restrooms are well-stocked 99f the time, they really take a beating during the day and are rarely "clean" by mid-day. By mid-afternoon they are a disaster. I know manpower is an issue, but perhaps a mid-day check would be appropriate. Our offices are rarely "comfortable" and in compensating with increased air-flow, they become quite noisy. Portable fans and heaters are a common sight. Ceiling fans would be a wonderful addition and should result in an overall cost-savings.

ADM

I work off campus in the UPC building.

ADM

I wish they could deodorize this bathroom. Also, we dont necessarily have to have HOT water, but WARM water to wash our hands with would really be nice. Using COLD water hurts.

ADM

We have the nicest people from Physical Plant maintaining our building. They are always courteous and professional.

ADM

Bushes need to be trimmed and maintained outside of the buildings. This will also decrease the number of bees and bugs around here.It is always cool in the building where I work.Grounds keepers need to be more careful while driving golf carts on the sidewalks. Slow down! Give the walker the right of way.

ADM

I requested for 6 boxes of university Catologs to be picked up for trash, no one ever came to pick them up.

ADM

The flag pole needs to be raised or moved because the palm trees now almost block the flag. Also, the colors of the Admin building look terribly ugly from the front. They do not go with the style of the building.

ADM

We are based off campus (UTC)in a leased building, so I dont think my input in this survey would be very helpful..Thank you,XXXX

ADM

THE RESTROOM FOR WOMEN IN ADM 1036 IS HORRIFIC AT TIMES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A RESTROOM THAT SMELLS CONTINOUSLY. WHY IS IT THAT 1)THEY CAN NOT PUT SOME TYPE OF DEODORIZER IN THERE TO WORK CONTINUOSLY AND 2)SINCE IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THESE WOMEN WERE BORN IN A BARN OR WITH OUTHOUSES, WHY CANT THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDE SEAT COVERS? ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN CONCERNING THIS PARTICULAR RESTROOM THAT I HAVE TO USE I WOULD GIVE IT A -3. HOPEFULL THIS SURVEY WILL NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF AN ACT IN FUTILITY. THANK YOU.

ADM

Greatest problem is with ladies washroom: no hot water, towels often not replaced or allowed to run out; soap often runs out (I have an extra bar weve used from time to time), and the metal can holding female waste products often falls off the wall.

ADM

Bayboro building in St. Pete

ADM

Some offices need new carpeting and paint.

ADM

CPR 103 is typically very cold

ADM

I think that Physical Plant is doing a terrific job. Also the XXXX who works at COPH MDC 56 is doing a terrific job for Physical PlantsThanks,XXXX

ADM

I am in the Health Sciences area and our Physical Plant group who maintains our facilities are wonderful!!! They are very conscientious, responsive and pleasant in the process. I amalso sure that they have a thankless job!

My comments refer to the USF St. Petersburg campus, in general, & the Florida Teachers Center & Davis Hall, in particular. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please forward appropriately.

ADM

Some of the sidewalk areas need to be re-thought.I would make the urban trails into sidewalks and get rid of all of those horrible looking chains.

ADM

I didnt choose one building because Ive had experiences in multiple buildings.

ADM

Im amazed that a campus this size looks as great as it usually does. Once in a while Ill run into a building or restroom that is not clean or is messy, but usually the staff does a fantastic job. The grounds are wonderfully beautiful. We have a bit of a temperature problem in our office, but we understand why. The groundskeepers and other personnel are courteous and helpful. Good work!

ADM

Plumbing fixtures in MDC4048 are in poor condition. The toilet paper is abysmal in texture and weight.

ADM

What I would like to see is the head of Phyical Plant do surveys with the different departments on what are we to do with the student records, test, examination, desk copies from different company,and all other sensitive materials that cannot be thrown into the paper bins. Please help find a solution for this problem or forward this to the President and let her know what our concerns are. The burn bags at this University should not be a department problem, It should be a University of South Florida problem. Its something wrong I think she would want to know just how personal student information is being disposed of. So the University will not be on television looking stupid. Sincerely, XXXX

ADM

No problems, thanks

ADM

I teach on Saturdays in Hammon Commons (HCL5, computer lab). This is perhaps not under the jurisdiction of USF but New College. That room has several pieces of broken furniture, is often dirty and unkempt, and has trash here and there that needs to be disposed of. Hammond Commons dining area is usually very dirty and messy on Saturday, and the restroom there definitely needs more attention. Please pass this message along to New College personnel if appropriate.Thanks,XXXX

ADM

HCL Sarasota

ADM

We are a grant located off campus at the University Professional Center. We do have need many times during the month to come over to the main campus...and I have noticed nothing but great surrounds both on the grounds and in the buildings. Keep up the great work.

ADM

Mens restroom in basement is never as clean as the restrooms upstairs. To use the restroom I go upstairs which is not convenient.For the last couple of days the urinal has been overflowing adding to the general stinky order and uncleaness.The reatroom could use better lighting.The second toilet cubicle is so small its practically useless.

ADM

The bathrooms are not always clean because they are used by the students. They are always clean by the next business day.

ADM

I am in the KORC building at the St. Pete campus. No reference to that building in the previous statement. Our labs here are often without paper towels for awhile. Most of the time, they get filled when we call and complain. That is my biggest complaint. And the fact that it is so cold in the buildings.

ADM

Wheres the CRI on this list? Is this only for Tampa campus?Also, it seems like theres no easy way to get anything done over here. Whenever I need something done it takes several calls back and forth, and nobody on Tampa campus knows anything that goes on down here. Its like were on an island in the middle of nowhere. We need an easier, more streamlined way to communicate with the Physical Plant. And it would be nice if somebody at the Physical Plant in Tampa at least knew the right contact down here in St. Pete.

ADM

Thank you for doing a great job!

ADM

Parking lots are never cleaned and are littered with broken class!!!!!!

ADM

Overall a good job by all. Thank you for your services.XXXX

ADM

Building options given on the above selection window do not include the Campus Activities Center ... CAC.

ADM

It would be nice if the University Police could get more of an immediate response from Physical Plant after normal working hours. Many times we will have an incident that needs your attention and the response we get from the "on-call" person is "cant it wait until morning?". If we thought it could wait until morning we wouldnt be calling your department.

ADM

I am talking about the HCL classrooms.

ADM

Im in USD. Its not on your list.

ADM

The building list does not have Sarasota buildings that I am commenting on listed. They are all Tampa buildings -- you might want to fix this.Anyway the buildings I am commenting on are PME and HCL. The responsiveness to problems in these buildings and the conditions I have had to work under in these buildings is totally unaccepatable and my complaints about these buildings, which began in August of 2003, have not yet been addressed yet. The physical plants method of dealing with my complaints has been to put them back on me stating such absurd things as I dont know how to use a thermostat!

ADM

I am slos commenting on SVC and MC as well as classroom in CPR, SOC and BEH.

ADM

i work in the st. petersburg campus and it is maintained very nicely. i also take classes.. and i have been impressed with the classrooms. the phy. plant staff here are great , curtious and through.. they are very prompt and so efficent. thank you mmiller...

ADM

I dont know the label of the building but it is COBA. The place is littered with ads some of which are of bad taste for a University. The stairs are usually dirty....I mentioned this in a previous survey but not seen any improvements. try it...drop a piece of paper on the stair and it may be safe for a week.

ADM

I was in DAvis Hall room 102. The computer is covered inchalk dust, everything else was pretty much OK.

ALC

This is in regard to your survey. We have had excellent service from the Grounds Dept., Alarm Shop, Maintenance etc. Everyone has been very professional and helpful. I would recommend the USF Physical Plant team to any Tampa Bay Community Business.XXXX

ALC

Thank you for asking our opinions.

ALC

Physical Plant does an excellent job of responding to our building needs. They are a pleasure to work with!

ALC

I want to compliment our custodian XXXX, who works in ALC. She is a very hard worker and does an EXCELLENT job at keeping the building maintained. I, however, am displeased with the new custodian XXXX, he makes me very uncomfortable as well as some of the other female staff I work with. One of my associates leaves her office when he goes in to dump her trash. I understand that he has been here for a VERY long time and seems to have some emotional dysfunction, but he makes alot of us feel very uneasy.

ALC

XXXX is wonderful; very professional and courteous. However, she mostly works in the other wing of our building. The person responsible for this wing is way too talkative, very slow, leaves the vacuum, and other tools of the trade in the middle of the hallway for hours at a time. I usually leave my office when he comes around to empty the wastebaskets because he starts talking and wont go away.

AOC

Generally, all looks really well. However, people smoke on the steps of the AOC building (lower level) and leave their stubs laying around, and it doesnt look like it ever gets swept or cleaned. It would be nice if it got cleaned up like other buildings (I know we are off in never never land...)thanks.

AOC

My "disagree" for the temperature question was due to being unable to properly regulate the rooms on the second floor of the building. Walls were built after the air ducts were installed so it is hard to regulate the rooms--they are either too cold or hot to suit people. We have adjusted--we are not really complaining.

AOC

USF is a smelly campus at times! Why? The staff and students leave the dumpster lids open. It would be great if chains could be attached that would allow the lids to open but NOT FLOP BACK. Thay way they couldnt be left open at all. Might be a bit inconvenient but it would make USF a more attractive place to be for those prospective students. Its usually the smelliest right where new students would have to pass--behind the Marshall Center on the walk from the parking garage and among the dorms where new students tour.The other thing that makes no sense on campus is something Im not too sure falls under physical plant, but you all might be able to direct it to the right management-types. Now, in addition to being a staff memeber Im also a part-time student who walks to class so Im sure of my facts here. Many, many students walk from the dorm area to the Education/Cooper Hall area. There USED TO BE a crosswalk between the Castor Hall/Argos area and the Behavioral Sciences building. Just recently this crosswalk was moved around the corner to point to green staff parking lot 7M AND the speed bumps were removed. Students who are trying to get to class on time will not walk 30 feet out of their way and 30 feet back again just to humor the crosswalk painters. THIS IS A DANGEROUS situation. There is no crosswalk and NO SPEED BUMPS where the student are OBVIOUSLY crossing. If you want to verify their migration pattern just check the lack of grass and sand tracked across the road where the crosswalk should be.

BEH

Our campus has a clean, well-maintained and well-groomed look. The new buildings, new walkways, and new landscaping of the last several years have really improved the campuss overall appearance.

BEH

When the trash baskets are emptied they are just put back somewhere in the room, most often just inside the door or on a chair. They should be put back where they were found. Also, although I have called and left notes on the door, the trash from BEH 210 is never picked up.

BEH

Thanks!!!!

BKS

My building is not listed, CRI

BSF

Our conference room is not supposed to be locked (BSF 221). There are signs on the doors saying not to lock it, but it frequently is locked during the night, one can only assume by the custodial personnel. It is a great inconvenience when it is locked, as only one lab on the floor has a key to it.

BSF

I dont know the difference between Service Center personnel and Physical Plant personnel. I interpreted PP personnel to be the ones that respond to work requests and maintain the building appearance (e.g., painters, A/C repair, light fixtures, etc.) and service personnel to be the ones that handle daily janitorial tasks. There have been instances where the latter responsibilities have not been kept up for several days in a row, although they are generally maintained properly.Temperatures in lab and office spaces at times seem to fluctuate independently of our controls. We also have a problem with intake of "problem" air into the lab spaces -- most notable is the cigarette smoke smell that comes into the lab but other outside smells also infiltrate at times. Solvent smells (from inside the building?) also occur but only rarely.

BSF

The restroom on the third floor must be checked out more periodically. Its commonto have some water leaking and/or lackof paper towels. The elevators of BSF building are also innot-so-good shape. They are not as cleanas they should be and this is a very negative aspect when we have visitors and prospective students walking around.

BSF

There is no reason to run the A/C at full power ALL the time. Its SO cold on the second floor of BSF that I have to wear a coat while I am inside!

BSF

I have had very good interaction with XXXX. He has responded ina timely amnner to all my needs. This may not aplly to physical Plant but you may relay this information to the cleaning crew! The department have requested a cleaning of the BSF 360 room a month ago and no response! My office was suppose to be clean 4 weeks ago and no response. I had to move into it as it was. carpet is disgusting!LSA 102 was also asked to be cleaned, And no response.These laboratories have been neglected for a long time because of the abscense of a director. They also require of the presence of the person incharge because there are strong magnets in the lab. I have offered to be present during the cleaning process to no avail! I am frustrated with the XXXX and newly arrived professor.

BSN

Temperature is always a problem, especially in classrooms. Almost always, the classrooms are frigid. The thermostats provide no control.The chalkboard erasers are often full of chalk dust, making it difficult to properly erase the board without getting a mouth and body full of chalk dust.Lighting in classrooms is problematic in that the podiums have no light switches. In small classrooms, it is tedious to walk back and forth to the wall switches in order to dim lights for a/v equipment projection. In large classrooms, it is nearly dysfunctional, as the wall switches are a long distance from the podium.Bathrooms are reasonably well maintained.Work requests are quickly taken, but sometimes not fully completed without numerous follow-ups.Campus buildings are improving in appearance (the paint on the library has made a world of difference -- thanks!). The BSN "bunker", though, is clearly in need of attention, such as power washing the stairs, landscaping the courtyards, etc. I hope that it doesnt fall into further disrepair as emphasis is given to the new addition to the building. The majority of activities are still taking place in the old bunker.

BSN

Also CIS Building

BSN

BSN has a number of problems with keeping it clean. This is mostly because it gets used over the week-end and we dont get cleaning services then. If the University wont fund cleaning services on the week-ends, then buildings should not be open to group meetings, etc.

BSN

Our crew does a great job. Thanks,XXXX

BSN

The classrooms are dirty. Chalkdust covers the front of the rooms. Trash cans not always emptied. The clocks are almost never right. The stairs are dirty. Entering from the parking lot gives a poor first impression for guests. I havent seen a less well kept government building. The only good thing about working in this building is that it is better than Cooper Hall.

BSN

Some classrooms in BSN are extremely cool at times, and the temperature can not be adjusted using the thermostats. However, I understand this is not currently under the control of Physical Plant. Also, fluorescent lights that are out are not always promptly replaced.

BSN

Many interior walls need repainting. Carpeting needs to be redone in almost all areas. BSN is in real need of refurbishing!

BSN

I was "VERY DISAPPOINTED" when I learned that physical plant will not be responsible for special handling bags. That is something that should be maintained by that area. Placing the responsibility on office personnel is absolutely ridiculous. Funding should be made available for Physical Plant to handle those materials.

BSN

Thank you and your staff for all your hard work!

BSN

its COLD!!!!

BSN

The bathrooms in BSN are ALWAYS dirty and smell of urine. I am a Business Major and I frequent the Business Building. The classrooms have overflowing garbages in them almost all of the time and the floors in BSN 1100 are in desperate need of cleaning.

BSN

I always see XXXX? (thin older african-american man) working very hard, and he always has a smile on his face and a warm hello. Physical Plant should be proud of such a good employee.

BSN

There are no trash cans in my classroom, and papers and junk just pile up; no one seems to ever collect them. Why not put a trash can in there?

BSN

Some classrooms in BSN have the movable, yet attached chairs with reclining back support. There are a very good design!

CHE

I teach in various buildings, so my comments covermore than one. this semester I am in chemistry and physics.

CHE

I only have had one request of the physical plant. In fall of 2003, I asked to have a faucet fixed in a classroom so that my CHM 2021 discussion group could do activities in there. It was never done. I went to the physical plant in person to fill out the form, so I know they got it. Whats up with that?????

CIS

CIS 2084 is the classroom I usually teach in. All of us (studnets and I) agree that the room is always unusually cold. I generally bring a jacket with me when I have to use the room. There is no way for us to adjust the temperature in the room.Also, the tissue roll in the mens toilet on the second floor occasionally runs out of tissue or the tissue does not come out of the holder.

CIS

Bathrooms are generally not clean, in fact sometimes filthy. It is just terrible.

CIS

Cleaning crew frequently leaves doors unlocked to offices and to office suite.

CIS

When we had full staff the grounds - & campus buildings were always tidy. Not the case anymore. Our people are spread out too thin. As far as the temp part - the CIS bldg has been a problem for maintenance from its creation. Good group to deal with!

CIS

We only get to pick one building to comment on? Or are we supposed to do the survey multiple times for different buildings?Neither of those seems terribly convenient -- and most of us are going to have experiences with multiple buildings on campus. What I would say about CIS is generally better than what Id say about CPR or FAO -- but worse than what Id say about EDU.

CIS

The survey here is too inflexible, let me explain a couple of answers...Some buildings look great; others nothing can save.Some normal work requests are done very quickly; others not so quickly.Some classrooms are generally comfortable, depending on the building and the time of year (CIS is pretty comfortable almost all of the time.) But thats not true in other buildings.

CIS

The day person is excellent. The night crew is not thorough, although--and this is the good news--the night crew members have stopped logging on to faculty computers and stealing personal possessions in recent months.

CIS

The day crew (especially XXXX) is GREAT, but the night crew does NOT clean, continues to leave doors unlocked and there are visable signs of more resting than working. The bathroom floors are NOT being swept or mopped and the toilets are not cleaned especially around the backs yet they pour smelly stuff in them and put the seats up so it looks like someone has cleaned.

CPH

In COPH room 2006 the studio class room the room is alway in the 50 to 60degrees(what ever the clillers are set for that day is the temperature in the room) This problem has been on going for a long time. every now and then the tempature is fine. XXXX broadcast eng 9999

CPH

XXXX is pleasant and responsive.

CPH

The low marks are for the facilities staff in our building(CPH). XXXX and XXXX are the most useless people I have ever worked with.

CPH

My comments reflect my thoughts campus-wide, not just in CPH.

CPH

Fantastic...no complain....honestly its the people who make it the way it is. Some fac and staff cant keep it clean so they complain sometimes

CPH

The 1038B computer lab in COPH has been uncomfortably warm this semester, which is ironic because the upstairs classrooms are generally uncomfortably cold.

CPR

I dont believe that the problem in CPR is the people who work here--at least not the ones who work here during the day. There just needs to be more of them, so they can do the "rounds" more frequently. This is an extremely heavily used building, and often the restrooms are a mess. The floor of the first floor mens room is always wet. Also, the electronic toilet flushers and sink faucets are ridiculous. Toilets flush with the slightest movement, and the sinks often wont give you water when you need it. You have to move your hands around trying to persuade it to be nice & let you have some water so you can wash or rinse your hands. Then maybe, if it decides to, it will give you a dribble. Or maybe it wont.

CPR

I understand that CPR is and old building, however, those of us that teach at night find the building dirty, the classrooms are extremely hot and the light situation is not the best.

CPR

This is an old building, so it is not easy to make it look good. The staff assigned to it do their best, I recognize that. But the rest rooms are dingy and sometimes out of paper towels, or one sink may be stopped up. I wish the building could be renovated. The elevators are my main complaint, as one or another is broken all too frequently.

CPR

Ive always felt that Cooper Hall is very poorly maintained, and I dont mean this as a criticism of the current maintenance staff. I believe the current staff does as good a job as it can with the very limited resources it has at its disposal. What kinds of things would make me, a professor, feel more comfortable in this work environment? First, I think the bathrooms could be better maintained throughout the day. The bathroom stalls might be clean in the morning, but its not very long before a student urinates on the toilet seats and then theres no place to go to the bathroom. I often walk over to the Education Building just to use a toilet that hasnt been urinated on.Second, it seems like the maintenance staff limits its work in the evening to cleaning the bathrooms and emptying the trash cans. Why not have the staff vacuum the hallway carpets at least twice a week and occasionally vaccuum our office carpets. Ive never had my office carpet vacuumed by a maintenance employees without my specifically asking that it be done. Finally, the stairways in Cooper Hall, especially the ones on either end of the building are usually filthy. To be honest, Ive been embarrassed at times to bring friends or family members into Cooper because of those stairways. I used to work as a janitor, and whenever we saw chewing gum stuck to the concrete, we pealed it off. Instead, here in Cooper it seems to be common to leave the chewing gum blotches on the stairs. In general, I consider Cooper Hall to be an unhealthy building because of the poor level of maintenance. I doubt that the ducts have been cleaned in the last several years, and with the high levels of dust and accumulated dirt, I wouldnt be surprised if I were currently working inside a health hazard. For all of these reasons, I think the administrators who make decisions about how to allocate resources should consider the effects that poorly maintained building have on the staff, faculty, and students who work in them. Poorly maintained buildings translates into low morale and concern about our health for many people here. Think of the boost in school pride if university officials showed proper stewardship for the physical environment here in Cooper Hall.

CPR

XXXX, our custodian, is wonderful. She is unfailingly cheerful, helpful, professional, and efficient. In my years of teaching at 4 universities, I have not met her equal. I would strongly recommend her for promotion to a management position, or for management training if it would be required for promotion. Numerous other faculty have made positive remarks about her in my hearing, and that is also a unique experience.My concerns about classroom/office comfort and lighting refer to extremes of temperature everywhere and to persistent lighting problems (flashing lights) in one classroom. As for cleanliness, the new boards are usually filthy by afternoon and erasers are often absent; if there, they seem ineffective.

CPR

The light has been blinking about for a month in CPR480. Could you replace a new one ?

CPR

XXXX, in Cooper, is most remarkable. Bathrooms areimmaculate. She is more than approachable and repondsimmediately to any problems (not as a result of her work,but rather students use of the facilities). She is thebest, and I dread the day when she chooses to move on, whereverthat is.

CPR

Any less than complimentary ratings are given due to lack of funding for needed improvements. They are not a reflection on the Physical Plant workers. I am speaking of classrooms that need paint and new carpeting, classrooms that have poor light sources, exteriors of buildings that are dated in architectural look and in need of new paint, etc. So far as I can see, workers do as much as they can possibly do with the resources they are given.

CPR

I would like to say that XXXX (I dont know her last name) who takes care of the housekeeping (restrooms) in Cooper Hall is not only an outstanding employee, but a wonderful person, too. She is usually the first person I see when I arrive on campus at 7AM, and I look forward to her lovely smile and friendly words. She is always available whenever I have needed help in any way. We need more people like her. She deserves a raise!XXXX, Adjunct Instructor, XXXX

CPR

Provide erasers in every classroom for the new bulletin boards; make sure each class has a lecturn(one that can fit on top of the desk is OK). Though the survey above covers CPR primarily, offices may be in other buildings. Check to see that the social sciences building ground floor has a regular insect maintenance plan to prevent insects(ants) from appearing, especially in the corridors.

CPR

Some class rooms are extremely cold, even at the time when the temperature outside is about 60 degrees. Is there any way to check the classrooms tempretures and adjust them as needed?That will be greatly appreciated.

CPR

Our custodian--XXXX--not only provides the cleaning services that her job requires, but she is a friendly, pleasant person--important attributes!

CPR

I work in Cooper Hall and my suggestion for the powers that be to commit themselves to a long term gradual rennovation of this building which would include cleaning out of the ducts and guts of the building. Also, painting is needed in the hallways and high use areas of the walls, trim. A thorough reworking of the bathrooms is also needed because the facilities are old. The inside building needs to be rennovated and cleaned. The health of everyone is the major issue here.

CPR

Groundskeepers and building "cleaners" are outstanding--friendly, consciencious, and serious about their work. These people deserve lots of recognition--any advice on how to be more supportive of these key members of the university team?

CPR

I would like to emphasize how wonderful XXXX, our custodian in CPR, is. (Im sorry: I dont know her last name.) She is efficient, cheerful, and extraordinarily professional. I know she has an enormous job in taking care of this building, but she makes it look easy. She, like all the custodians (and physical plant employees generally), deserves a raise.Thanks,XXXX, Dept. of English

CPR

The woman who does maintenance in Cooper Hall is very efficient and courteous and deserves special recognition.

CPR

Its no ones fault that the old buildings just dont look like much. And a building like CPR is so badly designed that nothing short of demolition could help it. Imagine two wide stairwells at either end, where there is little traffic, and a narrow one in the middle, where most of the traffic is. The newer ones such as CIS are really pretty attractive.There is an ongoing problem with temperature control in a lot of rooms in CPR. And, the furniture in the classrooms is execorable -- those plastic orange chairs are a disgrace and they are impossible to sit in for any length of time.

CPR

All of maintenance, grounds, and housekeeping that I know have always been pleasant, nice, personable, and interested in keeping Cooper Hall clean and in working order (it is an old building, ya know). And, many times, they have come to our rescue, especially when the exit light caught on fire and when the roof leaked because of all of the downpours that we have had. I have worked in this building since 1993 and physical plant has always been there for us. Thanks everyone!!!!

CRS

I rarely frequent the classrooms unless Im involved with a safety investigation/inquiry,so therefore, I have to remain neutral in that respect. Norman, who is the most frequent custodial staff in our bldg he does an excellent job trying to keep our area properly stocked and cleaned. He deserves a round of outstanding accolades/financial incentives for a job well done even with limited supplies.

CTR

Offices in Student Health Services annex (lower level of Marshall Center) EXTREMELY cold. Makes for a very uncomfortable working environment.

CTR

The time it took to receive utility bills this past year was excessive.

Need to vacuum offices once in a while. They get pretty dirty. Restrooms inside CUTR are disgusting. Need to mop and clean. Need air freshener also.

Seems that the floors are very, very rarely vacuumed. Restrooms are not maintained and stocked on a real regular basis.

CUT

More natural lighting and recyled/unbleached paper products would be great.

EDU

Most classrooms and offices are very dusty, and the carpet hasnt been vacuumed since the beginning of the academic year.

The floor in classroom EDU 150 where I have class on Wednesday evenings is filthy. I understand that it hasnt been cleaned for the entire spring semester!!

EDU

Im very disappointed that students dont do their part to keep the grounds, classrooms and restrooms cleaner. In 30 years here, it amazes me how nasty students can be. It would be wonderful if Oracles, cold drink cans and other trash were not left laying all over the place and if ladies/gentlemen could wipe after themselves in the restrooms. Theres no excuse!!! Given that USF cant afford staff to pick up and clean up after every student (and shouldnt have to) I think Physical Plant personnel do a great job! They have always been very attentive to my needs and I sincerely appreciate it.

I teach three classes a week in EDU 115. For the past three to four weeks we have had a number of problems. 1. The door to the stairwell on the east side has been locked basically all day, or maybe days on end. This is a problem for people bringing equipment from TSR (EDU 219) to the classroom. 2. Since April 12 there have been the remains of what may be a brunch (coffee pot, paper cups, utensils, lemonade dispenser, etc) on a table in the classroom. The table has been moved from the center of the room to the side. I do not know who is responsible to remove these things but the lemonade is taking on a life of its own. 3. Today for the first time the chairs were on top of the tables when we came in for class at 8am. If the survey had been done a month earlier I would have had no problems but the last month as been the worst in the years I have been using this classroom. My office is always cared for well, so I know some of this is not your problem, but if you could help I would appreciate it. Thanks. XXXX

There has been a dead fly stuck on the wall of the handicapped toilet in the ladies restroom, since December 2003. (EDU 141)The entrance door to the ladies room behind the Deans office does not have rubber padding and slams loudly everytime someone enters or exits. (EDU 112)

Sometimes the education building is too cold-- I also teach in other buildings that are poorly kept up-- HMS did not even have outside lights on when class was let out-- this happened only once but that was an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situation. The older buildings (Cooper, HMS) are a mess-- they smell bad and I wonder about toxic mold and other harmful substances. All of this is not the fault of the physical plant services but maybe this comment will help.

EDU

I believe that there are not enough recycling recepticles placed around campus for students to get rid of their empty bottles or read newspapers. If there is anything that you are looking to imporve, please make this a priority.

EME

EME trailers are in bad shape. Doors at the bottom have corroded and are falling apart. Requests to fix them have been very slow in the making and only temporary fix has been made. Also A/C units put out soot all over the lab. Carpets are all coming part in the seams.

ENB

My building is even on your list (ENC)!!! I choose ENB above because it is the closest to me.Many physical plant workers are rude and inconsiderate when using and driving golf carts. They sometimes do not watch nor care for pedestrians. I have had to walk around carts parked on sidewalks because workers were stopped, taking a break and talking. They dont always drive on sidewalks why must they park on them to take a break?Im sure this is just a few people, most workers are nice. But some are very rude to faculty, staff and students.

ENB

First - this campus is beautiful! Just awesome - thanks so much for all your hard work.Now, some suggestions (since you asked! LOL): 1) Office trash bins need emptied more often.2) Is there some work that can be done either before 8am or after 5:30? When I am walking to ENB in the mornings through the Marshall Ctr., I am often trying to dodge the leaf blowers and lawn mowers. I do my best, but I still have had bits of grass and such blow into my eyes. Sometimes the personnel cut off their equipment to let people pass, but not often.3) The water used for watering the lawns and in the fountains smells like rotten eggs - LOL Sorry, but it does! What is up with that? Makes me wonder what is in that water - I hope its safe!4) Need recycle bins for cans and bottles put all over campus, including in our building. USF needs to recycle much more than we are doing! Anyway, thanks so much for asking and overall, great job! :O)

ENB

Overall Physical Plant does a good job. However, in ENB, the cleaning crew do not do a good job. Computer labs, office space and specially the stair case look filthy.

ENB

Paper supplies in Handicapped stalls are rarely stocked. Trash is not removed from hallways. Generally the physical plant staff does a credible job, but emergency work orders often do not receive priority. Lighting is very bad in some office
