Welcome

Special Services serves faculty, staff and students at the University. We provide services and equipment in support of your special events on campus – anything from providing a few tables and chairs for a simple set-up, to providing tables, chairs, trash and recycling cans, tents, sound systems, staging, staffing, and anything else needed for large events such as Maryland Day, Art Attack, First Look Fair, and the most important day of all – Commencement!

We also provide special deliveries, office and laboratory moves on campus. In addition to our in-house crews, we maintain contracts with moving companies equipped to provide specialized moving and storage services including rigging and relocating heavy and sensitive lab equipment.
  
    
How to Place an Order for Special Services
  • Go to our Facilities Management Website >>   www.facilities.umd.edu
  • Under the “Services” heading, choose either to fill in the FM Services Request Form on-line, or download the form and send your request to Work Control.
  • Please note on the work order request your schedule for events and moves (e.g. when delivery or setup needs to be complete and when we can pick up afterwards).
  • While we try to accommodate last-minute requests for items, it’s always best to place your order as far in advance as possible to ensure availability of equipment and resources.
  • Orders for specialty items such as high top tables and tents require services from our rental companies and require more time (at least one week).

Note to Students
To help student groups with limited (or no) budgets, we keep a small supply of folding tables and chairs in our offices for students to pick up themselves, set up on campus and then return to us. In these cases, we charge only for the equipment being rented, thus saving students money on delivery fees.
