THE PHYSICAL PLANT DEPARTMENT

We in the Physical Plant Department are here to provide facilities services to the "UNA" community and its 58 buildings occupying 147 acres. We have dedicated ourselves to maintaining a manicured campus, comfortable facilities for all, and a high level of cleanliness in all buildings and the grounds. This is accomplished through the maintenance, repair and general upkeep of all the campus buildings, grounds, and by responding to work requests that have been called in to the department. The department's work is essentially divided into three categories:

1. Work Request
2. Minor Construction Request
3. Routine Operations and Maintenance

We basically respond to the first two categories, Work Request and Minor Construction in response to you as described in the following paragraphs. The third category is mostly internally generated work, such as preventive maintenance and the daily operation of our utility systems.

Welcome to UNA Central Receiving

The UNA Central Receiving Department is here to assure goods are received properly, and delivered to the University departments in a safe and expeditious manner.

We serve all departments on campus for their shipping and receiving needs. Our services reduce the responsibilities of the departments, so they can focus on their own mission.

Our staff delivers about 56,000 shipments per year, to the ?? buildings on campus. From the shipping carrier delivers to our dock, it usually takes us 1 to 3 days to deliver to you. In that time, we inspect the majority of the shipments for contents and damage.

Our business office is open daily from 7:00 to 3:30, Monday through Friday. The receiving dock closes at 3:30.

When you receive a shipment

When you receive a shipment, we need to get your signature. Please write legibly so we can later track the package, if needed.

We inspect the majority of the shipments for content and damage before delivering them to you. If there is a problem with your shipment, please give us a call. The driver is not equipped to handle problems, so please do not hold them up while opening the package. Holding up the driver will only delay the service to our other customers.

Resolution of shipping problems

We can help you resolve problems with your inbound shipment, such as:

• Damaged goods
• Shortages/overages
• Incorrect materials

We can also help you with tracking of shipments

Call us (765-4274) if you have problems, and we can help.

We handle radioactive and hazardous materials.
