Power Plant & Building Maintenance
The power plant at West Campus is 100% operational, making steam and chilled water to heat and cool the buildings. The power plant is also used to distribute electricity to many of the buildings. All buildings are heated and cooled in an energy-efficient manner—even unoccupied buildings, to preserve their integrity. FAMIS, the same automated work-request system that is used on all Yale University campuses, is used to request and track any type of facilities service, including building repairs (mechanical and electrical), temperature problems, custodial service, pest control, and so on. The West Campus currently staffs several facility engineers, a customer service manager, and three shifts (24 hours) of highly skilled trade workers.
All tenants receive routine building maintenance at no charge; however, building customization or any non-routine work will be charged to the department, as is the current practice on the Central and Medical campuses. All occupied areas receive routine custodial services; unoccupied buildings receive minimal custodial services. Yale Facilities provides trash and recycling removal site wide. For building services requests, call 203 737-3005.

The towns of West Haven and Orange provide first-responder service for medical, police, and fire emergencies, working closely with Yale police and security.
Employees can use three gates to access the campus: 137 Frontage Road, 400 Morgan Lane, and 280 Heffernan Drive. An employee’s key card must be activated to use these gates, which is done through the Security office at West Campus. Contact Judy Steinis at 203 737-3111.
