That's the department that's in charge of grounds, custodial, maintenance, construction, etc.
So basically, anything that happens in any building on campus is handled in this office.
Today I received a facilities request.
It said people are falling down on campus a lot.
Kind of like a campus-wide wiping out epidemic.
And the request?
They want to us to teach a class.
A class on how not to biff it.
They want it to be on a Saturday.
This is a GREAT idea.
I've already started on the flier (and I'm taking applications for instrutors).
Campus Safety: How NOT to Face Plant on Campus
Come for a a fun filled Saturday that includes the following classes:
1. Get Off Your Damn Cell Phone - The Number One Anti-Falling Rule
2. How to Pull Your Pants Above Knee Level - The Avoidance of Tripping Hazards (with a mini-lesson of, No, People Actually Don't Want to See Your Undies, They're Not Just Saying That!)
3. You Don't Have to Text Back Immediately (especially while walking) - a Lesson in Empowerment
and FINALLY,
4. Watch Where You're Going: Make Staying Upright a Sure Thing

I love that they need a class for this.
You should contact Bud's old junior high PE teacher (also a football linebacker coach) whose mantra was that most sports injuries occurred because people didn't know how to fall correctly. Thus, they had classes on how to properly fall. Then they combined that knowledge with linebacker drills. Ask my husband to demonstrate sometime--it's pretty funny watching a skinny boy act it out. Best of luck teaching those classes. ;)
Do it!!
I also love that they need a class for this. I giggled about it until I almost peed my pants.
Then The Planner informed me that it's no laughing matter and that they actually do plan to hire a contractor somewhere in the future to level out all of the sidewalks on campus - which apparently rise and fall with the weather. He said it would only cost between $750,000 and $1,000,000.
I'll tell you one thing, if I had $1,000,000 the last thing I'd spend it on is flattening sidewalks.
And Heather, I expect a video from Bud on how to fall properly. I'll be contacting his former PE teacher and asking him to present in the 5th workshop, "If You're Going to Fall, Do It Like THIS."
Matt says he'll teach it for you.
He blames the squirrels though for tripping people.
