The Smart Way to Run University Campus Maintenance
Managing a university campus is like running a small city. From classrooms and dorms to science labs, cafes, and recreation spaces—every area needs to function smoothly, safely, and without interruption.
But without a solid maintenance schedule? Things slip.Small issues turn into expensive fixes. Team communication breaks down. And you spend more time reacting than planning.
That’s where Eaco steps in.
Eaco helps facilities teams across education, government, and enterprise automate and streamline their entire maintenance operation—from daily cleaning tasks to annual infrastructure audits. With smart scheduling, real-time job tracking, and contractor management in one clean system, Eaco frees your team from spreadsheets and manual workflows.
Below, you’ll find a ready-to-use university maintenance schedule—plus how Eaco makes it run like clockwork.
Why Campus Maintenance Matters
Campus maintenance isn’t just about repairs. It’s about:
Creating clean, safe environments for students and staff
Preventing failures before they disrupt classes or events
Protecting expensive infrastructure and reducing long-term costs
Keeping audits, compliance, and inspections stress-free
The key to all of this? A proactive schedule that your team can stick to.
Campus Maintenance Schedule (by Frequency)
Here’s a high-level breakdown of what needs to happen daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.
Daily Maintenance
These are the non-negotiables—tasks that keep the campus functional and comfortable day to day:
Clean classrooms, corridors, and restrooms
Wipe down desks, handles, and high-touch surfaces
Empty trash and recycling bins
Check lights, switches, and report outages
Quick HVAC airflow and comfort check in common areas
Weekly Maintenance
Weekly tasks ensure consistent cleanliness and safety while catching early warning signs:
Mow lawns and clear outdoor walkways
Refill cleaning and hygiene supplies
Inspect and restock fire extinguishers
Spot-check plumbing in high-use buildings
Review and maintain exit signs and emergency lighting
Monthly Maintenance
This is your chance to go deeper and prevent costly repairs down the line:
Conduct pest control inspections
Test fire alarms and emergency systems
Deep clean science labs, studios, and kitchens
Calibrate lab or IT equipment
Check for leaks or blockages in plumbing and drainage
Quarterly Maintenance
These tasks help your facilities team stay strategic and safety-focused:
Service HVAC systems across campus
Inspect roofs, gutters, and downpipes
Run fire drills or evacuation exercises
Review IT server rooms and backup systems
Trim trees and maintain larger outdoor landscaping
