About Housekeeping & Maintenance
Our mission is to provide clean, well-maintained facilities and manicured landscape in support of student, faculty and staff sharing of experiences as members of the Methodist University family. Directed by the Vice President of Planning and Administration, the two departments have specific responsibilities and duties that relate to the overall support services operation for campus students, faculty and staff.
The Maintenance Department consists of five divisions – carpentry/painters, electrical, HVAC, grounds, vehicle maintenance/dispatch. The primary service hours are 6:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Monday – Friday. The Grounds division service hours are adjusted due to seasonal temperatures in support of safe operations.
The Housekeeping Department provides 24-hour service through the application of three shifts, Monday-Friday. Shift hours are adjusted twice annually for seasonal cleaning assignments.
- First Shift – 5:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
- Cleaning of locations that require faculty/staff access (secure areas), residence halls, intermittent cleaning services and activity/program support.
- Second Shift – 2:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
- Cleaning of residence halls, administrative offices, some athletic facilities, and locations that require faculty/staff access (secure areas)
- Intermittent cleaning requests throughout campus
- Third Shift – 10:30 p.m. – 7:30 a.m.
