Who to Contact

Here are some important sites, phone numbers and e-mail addresses to contact at UW:

• Physical Plant takes care of most maintenance chores at the University. Some services, such as replacing light bulbs and cleaning rooms are considered normal (non-chargeable) requests and hence the department does not have to pay for them. To request such a service, contact CARS (the Central Answering and Response Service either through their web site, by phone at 3-3333 or by e-mail at

physical.plant.cars@fpm.wisc.edu. David Anton is in charge of cleaning Van Vleck. You can contact him at danton@fpm.wisc.edu or 262-0207 if your office or one of the rooms on the ninth floor need cleaning. Service requests not considered part of normal maintenance will require a work order and payment fund. Contact the Department Administrator to set this up.
