Plant Operations Call Center

The Plant Operations Call Center is the communications hub of Plant Operations and the front-line communications with campus departments. Work Orders are initiated, dispatched, coordinated, and tracked through our computerized Facilities Management System. See More.

Funding approved for new building
Funding for the new academic building has been approved instead of renovating Jamrich Hall. The new building will be attached to the southeast side of the Learning Resources Center. Classes will still be held on campus. The cost of this construction will be $33.4 million which is less than renovating Jamrich Hall. Renovation would have cost $500,000 more.

Short Weeks Save Money
The summer of 2011, Northern started four-day ten-hour work weeks with most buildings on campus to save energy. The new schedule in 2011 led to $90,000 in energy savings. NMU continued with this plan for summer 2012. Most buildings are not open on Fridays.

Energy Savings
As the university prepares for possible budget reductions, the NMU campus community is reminded it can immediately help both the budget and the environment through some simple energy-saving steps. These include such things as turning off lights when a room will be empty more than five minutes, closing window shades at night and putting computers in the hibernation mode when they are not in use.
