Building Coordination

The Role of the Executive Office Building Coordinator

The Executive Office Building Coordinator (EOBC) manages building-related needs for Schmitz Hall and Gerberding Hall and serves as the primary liaison with UW Facilities, UW Police, Environmental Health & Safety, and UW IT. Policy information on the Building Coordinator role can be found in UW Administrative Policy Statement 13.04.

EOBC works closely with campus partners to maintain safe, functional, and welcoming spaces for all EO employees and is responsible for:

• Managing work orders and service requests for all shared spaces.
• Overseeing upkeep of hallways, stairwells, elevators, entrances, lobbies, and restrooms.
• Coordinating purchase and maintenance of cleaning supplies, sanitizers, and signage.
• Ensuring compliance with UW policies and safety standards.

Unit Responsibility

It is the responsibility of each office/unit within Gerberding Hall and Schmitz Hall to contact UW Facilities for issues inside their assigned spaces. This helps them to contact and schedule directly with that unit for access.

Units are also responsible for purchasing and maintaining supplies and signage for their assigned spaces, and for scheduling surplus pickups. Assigned spaces may include office spaces and suites, reception areas, kitchenettes, conference rooms, and storage spaces.

Situations Requiring Immediate or Specialized Assistance

For Emergencies: If you witness criminal behavior, violence, or threats of violence, or any situation requiring an immediate response, call 911.
