While most of the students are away from West Virginia University during the summer, the WVU Facilities Management team is hard at work during its busiest season.
The summer months see many hours of effort spent on repairing and upgrading the campus. From repainting dorms to rebuilding White Hall, there are hundreds of different projects going on during the summer as WVU nears the fall semester. Many of these tasks are basic campus maintenance jobs that the Facilities Management team is proud to complete without the students noticing.
Here is a peek at a few of the larger projects under way around campus this summer:
