Physical Plant
On Monday, July 13, Physical Plant will transition our work order system from SchoolDude to Brightly Asset Essentials. While the name and appearance will be new, Brightly this is the same company we currently use. The new system offers updated features and an improved user experience.
Beginning late Friday afternoon, access to the current SchoolDude system will be disabled as we prepare for the transition. We anticipate the new system will be fully operational by the end of the day on Monday.
When the new system is available, you will access it through the UMHB Single Sign-On (SSO) portal. Although the interface will have a fresh, updated look, the overall functionality will remain very similar. The process for submitting a work order will continue to be familiar and straightforward for faculty, staff, and students. The current QR code magnets located around campus will continue to work as they do now.
If you have an urgent maintenance request during the transition period, please contact the Physical Plant front office at 295-4586 during business hours, or follow the afterhours/on call procedures.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement this important upgrade. We are confident these improvements will help us continue providing efficient and reliable service to the campus community.
Beginning Monday, July 13, the commuter parking lot located west of the Davidson Building and Heard Hall will be closed as preparations begin for the construction of our new science lab building.
Alternative commuter parking is available in the College Street and Paul and Jane Meyer Christian Studies Center parking lots.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to improve our campus for the future.
