This unit is responsible for the integrity and aesthetics of WVU's buildings, the electrical distribution system throughout the campus, plumbing, sewage, heating, refrigeration, preventive maintenance, and ventilation. Here, maintenance is being conducted on a chiller in one of the University's chiller plants.

The Grounds division maintains the University's landscape (including sidewalks, steps, and parking lots). The Labor division assists Academics in moving offices and furniture, as well as setting up staging, tables, tents, and chairs for special events. Here, cement is being poured for a new section of walkway.

This unit supports the mission of WVU through successful construction, renovation, and capital improvement projects. This work is done by both in-house crews and contractors. Shown here under construction is a new green house on the Evansdale Campus.

EH&S provides health and safety services that protect the university community and the environment. The department is responsible for many university safety programs: asbestos management, confined space, emergency preparedness, air and water quality, hazardous materials, and occupational safety. Here, dust samples are being examined for signs of mold.

This department performs activities related to cleaning, painting, and event set-ups. Custodial staff are in the forefront of WVU's "green" efforts, using environmentally friendly cleaning products in equipment such as this scrubber.

This unit is responsible for processing and coordinating work requests, customer billing, payroll, radio dispatch and help line, keys, TMA support, document control, budget control, contract administration, recycling services, and (as shown here) warehouse operations.
