Operations Division Annual Report - FY23
Safety
EMERGENCY COMMAND CENTER
The Operation Division redesignated
Physical Plant room 009 to be a general
use Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
room. Upgrades to the room included new
technology, tables, chairs, whiteboard and
wall coverings. The primary purpose for the
room will be to use as EOC space as needed
and the secondary purpose is for general
meetings within the Operations Division.
NEW CAMERA INSTALLATION
The Grounds Maintenance team worked this
past year to add video cameras to several
parking lots and widely accessed locations on
campus. The main goal of having cameras
in these public spaces is to provide safety
and security to the Texas Tech community.
Another added benefit of cameras is the
additional support to claims of activities in the
area. Once installed, all cameras fall under the
purview of the Texas Tech Police Department
with Operations Division providing support
where needed. Installation this fiscal year
included two new cameras in the R-2 parking
lot rebuild, new cameras in the R-9 parking
lot and a camera overlooking the Broadway
Ave. main entrance. Plans for FY24 include
new cameras around the Academic Sciences
Building and at the School of Veterinary
Medicine in Amarillo.
