Facilities and maintenance

Person responsible for facilities
Each unit at the Department has a facilities-responsible contact person, who is the person the Building Department can revert to if there is a need to coordinate craftsmen etc. The contact person can also transfer requests for repairs etc. to the Head of Department / Department Administrator.
 
Department in general: Head of Department
Plant Glycobiology: NN
Plant Biochemistry / Molecular Plant Biology: Kirsten Jørgensen
Transport Biology: Anette Lund
Practical training rooms D71 and D66: Helle Kildal Mogensen
 
Building Department contact: Per Hofman Andersen
 
Who can commission repairs, alterations, etc.?
If you wish the Department to meet the cost of repairs, alterations, etc., the work must be commissioned by the Head of Department / Department Administrator.
 
The cost of repairs, etc. where the order is placed outside the Department, are to be met by the Sections themselves. The reason for this position is that there is a constant series of maintenance tasks at the Department on the "waiting list", and it is therefore the Head of Department's decision if the existing priorities are to be amended. It is also the Head of Department who negotiates prices and payment with the Building Department. Greatest emphasis is of course on compulsory and safety-orientated requirements.
 
Cleaning
Light daily cleaning takes place in office, passage and laboratory areas. LIFE-paid cleaning (as shown by stickers in door frames) may be supplemented by your own basic cleaning from time to time - this is your own responsibility. In most groups set cleaning days are arranged, where everyone is expected to attend. If you need cleaning supplies, please contact the Department's attendant.
 
Any complaints about the cleaning should be directed to the Head of Department.
 
Fire conditions at major events:
For larger events - e.g. conferences, etc. - one is required to prepare a separate evacuation plan in cooperation with Frederiksberg Fire Department. Only the Operations Department may carry out this task, contact them at phone number 32066.
