When do I use a Facility Alteration Request Form?

Facility Alteration Request Forms are used to submit facility alterations above normal maintenance. If
normal maintenance is being requested, a work order should be submitted.

Any alteration to a building or grounds needs a FAR request including:

  • painting (except for small touch-ups which are a normal work order)
  • murals
  • adding a wall or partition
  • changing a storage area into an office or classroom
  • new playground equipment, benches, trees, pathways, etc
  • new shelving or cabinets which are attached to walls, etc
  • new electrical equipment like microwaves, lights, kilns, TV, washers, refrigerators, etc
  • adding new doors, windows, flooring or electrical outlets
  • adding sheds or fences
  • anything new which physically alters building or grounds

Donations not needing a FAR: books, some furniture, rugs, etc (ie does not physically alter the building)
