Facilities Management

Maintenance and Repairs


The Dalhousie Campus is split into four distinct campuses - Studley, Carleton, Sexton, and Agriculture. To provide maintenance and repair services to buildings within these campuses, Facilities Management (FM) has recently transitioned from a full geographically-based Zone Team Maintenance structure to a Campus Team structure that also includes two centralized teams that focus on Planned Maintenance and Utility System Maintenance across all Halifax campus facilities.  Each team is staffed by a dedicated group of professional trades personnel whose goal is to provide responsive and quality maintenance and repair services.

Campus Maintenance Team Responsibilities

The three Campus Maintenance Teams are:

    Studley Campus Team
        Supervisor - Craig Shelton

    Carleton and Sexton Campus Team
         Supervisor - Trevor Morine

    Agricultural Campus Team
         Supervisor - Jason Penney

These three teams are staffed with a crew of multi-skilled trades personnel (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and other service staff) who perform the following services in the building located on their specific campus:

  • Rapid response to high priority client service requests
    • fire/flood/utility outages/critical equipment failures
