Non-emergency repairs

Use the Facilities Work Order System to request assistance for routine repairs (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, pest control, lighting, doors or other maintenance issues).

Please note: Emails, text messages, phone calls or verbal requests to Facilities staff will not be accepted for non-emergency work.

Event set-up requests

Our goal is to help you create successful, well-supported events. While each space has its own process for requesting support, we’ve outlined them below so you can get the help you need, when you need it.

Before requesting event support, your event must be scheduled through the Scheduling Department (via Astra). You will need your reservation number to proceed.

Be specific and timely. Early submission helps ensure equipment availability and setup coordination.

For events in Centennial Hall, Wallenberg Hall, Gavle Rooms or Olin Auditorium:

For events elsewhere on campus:

  • Confirm that you or someone in your department is authorized to submit a work order.
  • Submit a Facilities Work Order online at least 3 business days in advance.
  • If your event requires more than 75 tables and/or 250 chairs, contact Scheduling (madelynbeverlin@augustana.edu) for off-campus equipment rentals (e.g., AAA Rents).

Key reminders:

  • Event support requests must be submitted by Augustana employees (not students).
  • Facilities does not provide ladders, extension cords, water hoses or tools. These must be purchased or provided by the hosting group.
  • Include diagrams or detailed instructions in the work order when applicable.
  • For catering support, contact shararangel@augustana.edu.
