Buildings and grounds

Buildings and grounds

The office of building and grounds provides maintenance, repairs, renovation, grounds keeping and custodial services for the campus.


Vehicle registration and parking

If you are planning to have a vehicle on campus as a student this year, please be aware that you are required to have a Concordia University Parking permit affixed to the driver's side of your rear bumper by the end of the first week of classes. After that time, parking tickets will be issued to anyone not having a parking permit. [MORE]

Reporting an issue to the office of buildings and grounds

If you have a maintenance concern, please contact your building manager or, if you are a student, your resident assistant.

Building managers may log in to the Aramark portal (on-campus only) to submit a new request or to check on the status of a previous submission.
