Western Â鶹´«Ã½Ó¦Óà University is committed to advancing responsible environmental stewardship. One way of doing this is by reducing pollution and conserving fuel. It is expected that all University vehicles will be turned off if they are idle for more than five minutes. There are times when diesel powered engines may be exempt from this policy, such as when temperatures or special situations require them to stay on longer. This will be an infrequent event and should be the exception rather than the rule.

Level of Service Standards
Facilities Management Vision Statement places an emphasis on providing excellent service to our campus students, faculty, staff, and guests. We also understand that in order to meet or exceed customer expectations, we must articulate the level of service we offer and in turn, the level of service our customers should expect of our staff. This mutual understanding of level of service is critical for the customer – service provider relationship. When our staff falls short of this expectation, we must recognize it and improve. We hold ourselves accountable to meet or exceed these expectations. We trust our campus customers have a mutual understanding of these service levels. When customers want a higher level of service, we can offer it when provided additional resources.
