What’s Happening Now
There are dozens of Facilities projects going on at any given time. Most happen behind the scenes. But here are a few that may affect your normal routine:
Reserve a college van, check out our commercial rental agreements, find a driver, or reserve a Zipcar. You can find whatever you need … but not this beauty!
From hanging a picture to repairing a roof, our carpenters will tackle just about anything! You can always tell when they’re around by their cheerful banter (or the sound of drills and hammers).
Nine cracker jack custodial teams make sure our 100+ academic and administrative buildings and dorms are kept clean. They appreciate all the help you can give!
Lighting, of course, but also wiring for alarms, data and telecommunications, emergency power, scoreboards, PA systems, elevators – the Electrical Trades team makes all the connections!
From lawns and fields to roads and parking lots, our groundskeepers work year-round – indoors and out – to maintain college landscapes, hardscapes and athletic facilities. Wave when you see them!
In addition to keeping campus walls and ceilings looking their best, our painters whip up everything from campus signs to pavement markings. They even hang wallpaper!
Our combined heat and power plant supplies the campus with steam for heating and hot water. It also produces 20% of the electricity consumed on campus.
Our plumbing and HVAC team (Mechanical Trades) maintain the distribution systems for heat and AC, steam and water, sewers and storm drains, natural gas and propane, and a whole lot more.
Williams is committed to recycling everything we can. Our recyclers even work with local farms to provide animal bedding made from shredded paper!
Our locksmiths will never leave you out in the cold! They take care of all kinds of locks and lock systems – from traditional keys to the card access system.
The successful planning and building of facilities that enhance the mission of the College is the responsibility of the Planning & Construction team. Look for them under the hard hats.
