Safety/Maintenance

This page contains information on safety protocols in the event of an emergency as well as on how to submit requests for maintenance or keys. It is helpful to review this information on a regular basis so that you’re familiar with processes and procedures.

Safety Procedures

Bascom Hall has several resources available to handle emergencies.

• Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) PDF Updated 1/22/2026 – This plan outlines building specific emergency procedures for various situations that might occur, such as severe weather or active threats. A copy can be found in Room 100. Contact the Building Manager if you’re interested in attending training or have questions.
• UWPD Safety Resources – This link takes you to UWPD’s website to cover standard procedures for safety, such as information on CPR/AED training, crime prevention tips, inclement weather safety, active threat training, and related topics.
• An Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) machine is located in Bascom Hall on the First Floor in the rotunda, across from the recycling station, near the central elevator

Maintenance Requests

If your maintenance request is building related in nature (broken window, restroom issue, heating/cooling, leaks, etc.), please report your concern to the Building Manager.

If your maintenance request is office specific (hanging pictures, removing whiteboards, moving furniture, etc.), please report your concern to Facilities Planning and Management (FP&M). You will need your customer number to fund the request.

Key Requests

If you need keys for your office, check with your department to see if they have a copy. If not, have them submit a key request through FP&M’s AssetWorks key portal.

If you need a building key please reach out to the building Manager.

All departments in the building are responsible for maintaining an accurate key log to include number of keys and current possession.
