Special Services
FM Special Services team provides everything needed for UMD's many special events -- tents, tables, chairs, sound systems, and more.
They also provide expert assistance for office and laboratory moves. Learn more about moving services.

Sound Systems
Special Services stocks simple public address systems or will work with vendors to provide the most elaborate sound system you need.
Accessories
Special Services will help you plan every element for a successful event: big things like stages, little things like easels, coat racks, pipe and drapes and trash/recycling barrels - even the UMD seal and United States/Maryland flag sets.
