| Maintain all historic architecture. |
| Design designated snow piling areas? In concert to designing the typically unattractive service areas, so as to be out of sight? Is that feasible? |
| Replace the sprinkler system with another system that will prevent over watering. Perhaps a drip system. |
| Additional funding for custodial and maintenance. Building upkeep must start on a daily basis. |
| Better trash pick up in parking lots; dumpsters too visible. |
| Snow removal terrible and creates unsafe conditions on all surfaces. |
| Paint in buildings makes a huge difference! |
| "Deferred maintenance" is the bane of facilities programming and maintenance. Existing structures must be maintained to the fullest extent and programmed for modification/enhancement or replacement. |
| Athletics - put a permanent indoor track in the fieldhouse - don't have to set up and put down temporary track. Also, would be a 200 meter track. |
| It is important to keep up the maintenance and availability of existing facilities. Often, the better answer may be to create a new facility rather than to cram activities and personnel into spaces designed for other uses. |
| Take care of deferred maintenance and improve snow removal. |
| Is there any planning for building maintenance? |
| Funding is going down, therefore it is harder to keep up with Maintenance issues. |
| Maintain all historic buildings. |
| Please leave open spaces for better snow removal. Tight and organized creates more mess than a common storage area. |
| Screen or relocate dumpsters so they are not as visible as they are now. |
| No snow removal on streets to the point cars can barely drive. Why remove snow on the sidewalk to the point it is a sheet of ice? Leave enough snow to make walking safe. |
| Provide an elevator with limited use (key? code?) so that maintenance doesn't need a workspace on every floor using valuable space and allow delivery of heavy items. |
| Provide a few more trash containers (they're often hard to find!). |
| Conceal ugly dumpsters. |
| Have maintenance committed to a building or floor long term to keep some pride in their work - this is "mine". |
| Provide adequate space for snow storage/removal in landscape designs and building designs. |
| Fix the roads. It's horrible conditions with potholes, scours, etc. |
| Pick up trash on campus from ground. |
| Make maintenance more efficient - outside bids. |
| Empty trash outdoors - especially in parking lots, more often. |
| Please listen to the department responsible for upkeep before you create a final design. If they don’t like it, they won't take care of it. |
| Infrastructure location is critical - must be able to have service areas. |
| Tunnel is a great tool. Please continue to expand this with new buildings - and to dorms. |
| Adequate exterior water sources - faucets on buildings. Quality, frost-free, easy to repair (accessible). |
| Complete maintenance before you go off an any tangent. |
| The cobble stone surface in the mall is a failure that should not be repeated. It's difficult to walk on with heels. Wheelchairs have difficulty and maintenance is an issue. |
| Fix mess behind Leon Johnson. |
| Get rid of all ice everyday. |
| Deferred maintenance is a wrong headed and dangerous type of thinking, i.e. the brick of north Leon Johnson tower. |
| Post-snow sidewalk maintenance - there are far too many places on campus that remain icy for pedestrian safety. On critical ice spots (like slopes where driveways cross sidewalks) use SALT!! |
| Define time frame for "temporary" solutions such as terrace around LJ Hall. |
| Lighting is horrible in the majority of the older buildings. |
| Are there other colors than white? |
| We do not have the staff and money to maintain buildings and facilities. |
| Sprinkler systems should be used less often or replaced by more efficient systems (drip systems) to avoid muddy grass-space. |
| Building maintenance. Keep the old look so buildings keep unity and make the campus look organized and respectable. |
| Improve drainage (Stop re-freeze) especially on the north end of campus. Lots, walks, and streets that ice over (especially this year) DO NOT CLEAR in part , due to the poorly placed, poorly maintained/blocked or non-existent drains. |
| Sweep streets, especially in the spring after the snow melts to keep the bike lanes usable. |
| A lot of the family housing apartments need to be renovated. |
| Traphagen Hall needs total renovation/bulldozing. When it rains…it rains inside. |
| Complaint: Repair, redo service drives. |
| Complaint: Fix sidewalks inside Wilson Hall Courtyard. |
| Sidewalk maintenance is fine as is. No "Heated sidewalks" or covered walkways are needed. The sidewalks are almost always perfectly clear within 48 hours after a storm anyway. Remelt is a real problem though. |
| Facilities services needs to consider aesthetics in their work. The A/C in the basement in MT Hall is hideous inside and out. |
| Adequately support infrastructure such as OFS, ITC, police, etc. |
| Provide better maintenance of public areas - entrance ways, elevators, hallways, bathrooms, to keep them painted, cleaned, repaired. They are a first impression by visitors, public, job candidates, prospective students. |
| Building maintenance needs its own endowment. State money will never be available. Can Alumni Association do a capital campaign? |
| Campus not clean. Lots of debris/garbage builds up in places like Wilson, bushes, etc. - cig. butts... |
| Trash on the ground encourages more littering. MSU needs a full-time litter picker upper. |
| Dumpsters are very ugly. Surely other universities have figured out ways to make them less unattractive. What can we learn from them? |
| Do: deferred maintenance before any new project or any building scheduled in long range plan. |
| Put more money into maintenance of buildings and walks and parking lots. |
| Difficult to support off-campus infrastructure, i.e. at tech park. |
| Deferred maintenance needs to be worked on or upgraded incrementally. |
| We don't have the staff and money to maintain buildings and facilities. |
| Is there any planning for building maintenance? |
| Maintenance of buildings. |
| Continue clean-up at Livestock Teaching Center. |
| Remove fences, make it more open. Clean it up, make repairs. |
| A building maintenance plan needs to be implemented for the historic buildings on campus/historic landscape and plan of campus. |
| Upgrade heating an and cooling systems. |
| Maintain old original buildings. Maintain and beautify them. |
| Plow the parking lots more often, in particular in the family housing. |
| Service drives and dumpsters are too visible from Centennial Mall. |
