Commencement often signals the start of the summer season – a slower pace and a chance to catch up on work that may have been pushed aside during the spring semester. But for Facilities Management (FM), summer is rarely slow. It is rather a time to take advantage of fewer people on campus and complete projects that could be more difficult or impossible to address during the fall and spring semesters. 

You may have noticed key kiosks popping up at City Hall and the Severn Building. This is the first step in the implementation of a new system that will provide key access for Facilities Management (FM) staff and contractors 24/7.

Facilities Management (FM) and the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOSC) are teaming up to install rooftop weather stations as part of an exciting new project. This collaborative effort aims to build a weather network that will provide detailed, real-time data on weather conditions across campus and provide a better understanding of the impact of global climate change.  This micronet of weather data stations across campus will aid forecasters, students, and FM workgroups.
