Custodial
Physical Plant Management custodians work early morning and evening hours to keep campus buildings safe and clean. We address “Fire Life Safety” issues and trouble calls first, then our work follows a list of four priorities:
- Common areas, including restrooms, entrances, hallways, stairwells
- Laboratories and classrooms
- Open and Public Offices
- Private Faculty and Staff offices.
Room Access - Unlocking:
During the academic year, PPM employees unlock instructional space at the beginning of the day. If you find your room locked after this time, someone from your department has deemed it necessary to secure the room. Please contact your department office for access. Facility Services workers cannot unlock offices or other restricted-access areas. To unlock these rooms, you must contact your department for access to these areas.

Landscaping and Grounds
The Landscape and Grounds unit has responsibility for the outside environment at CSUN. Campus grounds are kept orderly and attractive, which enhances the campus and the community. Routine landscape maintenance is performed around campus buildings, debris and trash is removed from the landscape on a daily basis, and flowerbeds and landscape immediately surrounding the buildings are maintained.
Pest Control.
Please report any pest control problems to the Work Control Center IMMEDIATELY. We provide regular pest control services for all campus grounds.
