Facility & Real Estate Services (FRES) Survey
Please take the Facility Service Survey and provide feedback on your experience receiving maintenance and housekeeping services. The survey is active through April 30 2013. Thank you to all who participate in this survey.
We are asking you to take a few minutes to complete a survey. We have been working with the firm Sightlines in order to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the maintenance and custodial services provided to the Perelman School of Medicine by the University Office of Facilities and Real Estate Services (FRES).
The focus of the work to date has been directed at defining processes, measuring performance, monitoring actions over time and benchmarking Perelman School of Medicine to other campuses. The process now moves to understanding the community's perspective of the FRES organization. Therefore, we are asking you to participate in a brief survey that seeks to quantify the "everyday" service that FRES provides. Please note that this survey does not include services provided at TRL or the Smilow Center for Translational Research.
We hope that you can add valuable insight into the daily services provided at the School of Medicine. Below is a link to the survey. By clicking on the link you will be able to complete the survey anonymously.

Thank you for taking the time to participate. The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete, and your input will help Penn to manage the needs of the campus more effectively. Please feel free to contact us or Anne Maiale at Sightlines (amaiale@sightlines.com) with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Eric Weckel

Lab Water Filter Recycling
The Perelman School of Medicine in collaboration with Purchasing, EHRS and Millipore have launched a water filter recycling program for laboratories. The recycling of the filters will now be included in all service contracts. The service technician will collect the filters in large drums to be sent for recycling when full. The complete recycling program details can be found here. We are pleased that this partnership will allow another category of items to be diverted from the landfill.
