Facility Support

Facility Support is best described as the "grease that helps the other program areas run smoothly". Maintaining facilities and equipment for safe enjoyable usage is what we do in summary. Five major components of Facility Support include: 1) Equipment Check-Out and Locker Room Service, 2) Labor, 3) Sport Emergency Training (SET), 4) Capital Asset Management, and 5) Facility Rental Group Counseling. The most prominent component of the program is the equipment check-out and locker rental service at the SRSC. Members present their ID card and receive sports and fitness equipment to use at the SRSC for free daily use. Group equipment rentals are also available on a reservation basis. Facility Support at the HPER building provides limited equipment check-out service at the Supervisor Station in Wildermuth Gym. The second component we are known for is labor. We clean, conduct preventative maintenance and repair equipment and facilities. The third component that Facility Support manages organization-wide is Sport Emergency Training (SET). We administrate classes where students receive American Red Cross certifications in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Standard First Aid (SFA), and Preventing Disease Transmission (PDT) in addition to in-house safety seminars. Fourthly, Facility Support is primarily responsible for the stewardship of capital assets. Lastly, we assist in the coordinating of special events by counseling groups who have approved reservations to use Recreational sportsfacilities.
