Fall 2011: Facilities & Services Customer Satisfaction Survey Results
Institutional Analysis Page 1
About This Survey:
In mid October, 2011, New Mexico State University’s (NMSU) Facilities and Services Office (FS)
and the Office of Institutional Analysis (OIA) worked together to update the 2010 FS customer
satisfaction survey. FS then sent survey invitations to all faculty and staff on the Las Cruces
campus as a follow up to the prior two years’ surveys. The survey was designed according to
specifications of a Facilities and Services audit and standards set by APPA, the facilities
professional organization to which NMSU belongs. The 2011 survey focused on the same
questions and functional areas as in prior years, but was expanded to include questions
regarding sustainability efforts on the NMSU Las Cruces campus. A copy of the full survey can
be found in Appendix A.
The survey was hosted on the IRPOA website, and FS director Glen Haubold sent out two email
invitations over the course of two weeks asking the university community to take the FS survey.
The email distribution list was set up and determined by his office in conjunction with the
University Communications Department at NMSU. The survey was made available to
participants between October 10 and October 21, 2011. This was both fewer invitation and
reminder emails and a shorter survey period than in the 2010 administration.
The survey itself dealt with six specific areas of university life that FS is responsible for:
custodial care, the environment inside of campus buildings, university grounds and landscaping
services, project development and engineering services, Facilities and Services administration,
and environmental health and safety services. Additionally, respondents were given the
opportunity to write in specific comments they may have about FS services on the last survey
page. All respondents were asked for their opinions on custodial care, building and
environment, and grounds and landscaping, but for the areas of project development and
engineering, administrative services, and environmental health and safety services, respondents
were given the option to opt out of that portion of the survey if they had not used the services in
the prior 12 month period.

General Response Rates and Results:
There was not a lot of publicity or build up prior to the start of the survey, and after some
complaints following the 2010 administration regarding the number of email reminders sent
out, both the survey availability period and the number of email invitations sent were cut in half
this year. As a result, the number of responses was only about a third of that in the prior year,
which was a similar number to the 2009 survey administration. 286 NMSU faculty and staff
members responded to the survey and 44.1% (126) of these individuals took the time to write in
specific comments that specified areas they either felt needed extra FS attention or were areas in
which respondents felt that FS was excelling. This included five individuals who wrote in
comments for FS instead of identifying which building they worked in at the beginning of the
survey. Because a significant portion of respondents felt there were issues important enough to
comment on, it is important to look at the comments as well as the raw numbers and
percentages of respondents, to gain deeper understanding of the issues that FS may wish to
address in the future.
Overall, the results of the survey were favorable, and the majority of respondents had a good
opinion of FS, particularly of FS staff. When there were issues cited with FS services, the nature
of many of them tended to be specific instances that had caused issues and not larger systematic
issues. There were however, a lot of comments that specifically had to do with recent scheduling
and staffing changes which many respondents seemed to feel left FS with too few staff to
complete their jobs, and was resulting in some issues in terms of cleanliness and grounds
appearance on the NMSU campus. The freeze over the winter of 2010-2011 was cited as having
caused some grounds issues that have not yet been resolved. A new theme this year in the
written in comments was one exploring potential issues with handicap accessibility and with the
maintenance of handicap facilities around campus. It is also important to note that many of the
people who wrote in responses at the end of the survey took time to commend FS staff for a job
well done.
Overall respondents had positive attitudes about the courtesy, knowledge, and skills possessed
by FS staff in all areas of the survey. Within the survey, the areas that more closely related
recent cutbacks and schedule changes of custodial and maintenance work tended to have the
highest rates of dissatisfaction. There were also specific issues cited with the new FS work order
submittal form and with pricing and contracting of FS services.
Fall 2011: Facilities & Services Customer Satisfaction Survey Results
Institutional Analysis Page 3
General Results by Survey Section:
Custodial:
Respondents indicated that overall, they were satisfied with FS custodial services, and over 50%
of respondents were very or extremely satisfied with the job FS custodial staff do. Respondents
were more likely to indicate dissatisfaction with the frequency of cleaning services and with the
cleanliness of bathrooms, offices, and classrooms than they were with FS staff themselves.
These sentiments were echoed in the written in comments at the end of the survey, where
respondents said that FS staff were doing an excellent job, but that budget and staff cutbacks
have left FS custodial employees overextended without enough time or materials to keep their
assigned areas as clean as they should be.
Building Environment and Utilities:
Overall, respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the building environment and
utilities provided by FS in their primary building. However, they were not as likely to have
strong positive feelings about this area as they were to have strong feelings about custodial
services. As in the prior year’s survey administration, when respondents indicated they were
dissatisfied with this area, they tended to be the most critical of the temperature and energy
conservation measures in their building. Written in comments that tended to relate to this area
of the survey echoed this finding, as many respondents indicated dissatisfaction and issues with
the regulation of temperature and with the heating and cooling system in their primary building.
Respondents this year were also more likely to indicate seeing issues with handicap access than
in the past. Comments suggest some of these issues may relate to the maintenance of outside
handicap services such as inaccessible and dirty parking spaces, overgrown ramps, and faulty
doors.
Grounds:
Again, the majority of respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the services that the
FS grounds department was providing on campus. However, in all areas except maintenance of
the recycling program, respondents were much more likely to indicate dissatisfaction in this
area than they were in the prior year. More comments were written about grounds service
issues than any other area FS addresses. Comments centered on issues with NMSU’s sprinkler
system and watering schedule, with the desire for better landscaping, and with maintenance
needed to address issues from the February 2011 freeze. Several respondents specifically
mentioned that they felt that the grounds keeping department was understaffed which they
believed was resulting in many areas of the campus being neglected.
Project Development and Engineering:
Overall respondents indicated they were satisfied with the services provided by FS Project
Development and Engineering Staff, but were more likely to indicate dissatisfaction with these
services than they were in earlier survey administrations. In both the multiple choice and
written in portions of the survey, respondents tended to indicate dissatisfaction with the time to
Fall 2011: Facilities & Services Customer Satisfaction Survey Results
Institutional Analysis Page 4
receive estimates and with the time taken to complete jobs. Specific instances of poor follow up
or feedback and with delays due to changes in the work order system were cited.
Administrative Services:
Again, the majority of respondents indicated satisfaction with the administrative services
provided by FS. Respondents were less likely to indicate dissatisfaction with this area than they
were in the prior year, but for the second year in a row were less likely than in the prior year to
indicate they were extremely satisfied with staff courtesy in this area. Written in responses
relating to this area tended to center on poor communication and follow up by FS staff,
problems with timely follow up to work order requests and inquiries, with pricing that was
considered to be high and non-competitive, and with the new work order system. Multiple
comments indicated a feeling that lower level employees do a better job of relating to the
customers than do management.
Environmental Health and Safety Services:
Respondents who answered the survey questions relating to Environmental Health and Safety
Services were likely to indicate they were satisfied with the services being provided. More than
50% of all responses in this area indicated respondents were “Very Satisfied” or “Extremely
Satisfied” with Environmental Health and Safety services. Respondents were more likely to
indicate high levels of satisfaction than in prior survey administrations. Issues raised tended to
center around communication and timely follow up issues.
Write In Question Summary:
There were a total of 127 written in comments either at the end of the survey or in the building
selection box, written by a total of 126 individuals. The most common themes in the write in

Question by Question Detailed Analysis:
The following provides a more detailed analysis of the survey questions. Each section specifies
the question asked and lists the overall percentages and response rates. For those questions
about maintenance service, custodial service, and grounds service, a list of buildings that
indicated any measure of dissatisfaction with the particular area of FS service can be found in
Appendix B.
Section 1: General Satisfaction Scale
This question read, “How would you rate your overall satisfaction level with the work you have
seen completed facilities and services in the last twelve (12) months?”
Table 1 lists the overall percentage of responses for this question. Overall, respondents
indicated they were satisfied with FS services, and about 51% of respondents indicated they
were either “Very Satisfied” or “Extremely satisfied” with the service they had received from FS
over the course of the prior year and fewer than 13% of respondents indicated any measure of
dissatisfaction with the services provided by FS. Respondents were slightly more likely to
indicate they were dissatisfied with Facilities and Services overall than they were in the prior
survey administration.

Section 2: Primary Building Question two asked respondents to respond to the following: “In order to better meet your
facilities service needs, it is important that we be able to evaluate responses to see which areas of
campus may need special attention. With this in mind, please choose your primary building on
NMSU from the following drop down list. If your building is not listed, please type the name of
your building into the write-in box.”
Written in responses were categorized to the correct building if they were already represented in
the given choices. The buildings written that were not included in the drop-down menu that
were written in included: Central Utility Plant, Wind Tunnel, Facilities and Services Paint Shop,
Anderson Hall/ PSL, The property office and Warehouse, Stan Fulton Athletic Center, Monagle
Hall, Vista del Monte, Corbett Center Student Union, Auxiliary Services/ the Bookstore,
Facilities and Services Grounds Department, and the Pan Am Annex.
There were also responses indicating people were confused regarding the name of Engineering
Complex Two, and that people considered themselves to have multiple primary buildings. The
following is a listing of the number of responses by each building, and has been updated to
include the written in responses. In the event of multiple written in selections, respondents are
only counted in the primary building they selected.

Section 3: Custodial Care The first large set of questions in the survey asked respondents about custodial services
provided by FS in their primary building. The lead-in to this section read:
“Facilities and Services provides basic cleaning, recycling, and routine pest control services for
Instruction and General Buildings on the Las Cruces Campus. This is done according to a
published schedule on the FS website.
Please rate your level of satisfaction with the following custodial care areas as they pertain to the
building you identified as your primary building.”
Table 2 lists the areas that respondents were asked about as well as the percentages of responses
for each question. In all cases, more than 50% of respondents indicated they were “Very” or
“Extremely” satisfied with FS custodial services. Over 50% also indicated that they were very
satisfied with custodial staff. When respondents indicated dissatisfaction with custodial
services, they were most likely to be dissatisfied with the frequency of custodial services and
with the cleanliness of restrooms, offices, and classrooms.

Because custodial services are specific to each building on campus, it is also important to look at
those buildings where respondents indicated some measure of dissatisfaction with custodial
services at NMSU. Please see Appendix B.1 for this breakdown.

Section 4: Building and Environment The next large survey section asked respondents questions about the building environment and
utilities services in their primary campus building. The beginning of this survey section told
respondents:
“Facilities and Services strives to maintain a comfortable and functional environment for all
members of the NMSU community.
Please rate your level of satisfaction with the following building and environmental utilities
areas of the building you identified as your primary building.”
Table 3 lists the areas that respondents were asked about as well as the percentages of responses
for each question. In all cases, more than 80% of respondents indicated they were at least
satisfied with the building and environmental utilities provided by OFS, though respondents
were much less likely to indicate high levels of satisfaction with these areas than they were to
indicate similarly high satisfaction levels with custodial services. When respondents indicated
dissatisfaction with this area, it was most likely that this was related to temperature or energy
conservation. Respondents were less likely this year than in the prior year to indicate they were
very or extremely satisfied with handicap access. Comments also suggest that this was a
potential issue on the NMSU campus.

Section 5: Grounds Services The third large survey section asked respondents questions about FS provided grounds service
at NMSU. The beginning of this survey section told respondents:
“Facilities and Services provides landscape and grounds maintenance, exterior trash receptacle
management and concrete and asphalt maintenance. In addition Facilities and Services
maintains the walkways and roadways around campus and is responsible for the care of lawns,
trees, and shrubs. Facilities and Services is also funded to maintain campus drainage systems.
Please rate your level of satisfaction with the following areas as they relate to Facilities and
Services grounds maintenance in your area of the university.”
Table 4 lists the areas that respondents were asked about as well as the percentages of responses
for each question. In all cases, more than 75% of respondents indicated they were at least
“satisfied” with these areas. In all areas except management of the recycling program,
respondents were more likely to indicate dissatisfaction with this area than in prior years.
Comments suggest that much of this dissatisfaction may relate to damage from the February
2011 freeze which has not yet been addressed.

provided by the FS grounds crew. Please see Appendix B.3 for this breakdown.

Section 6: Project Development and Engineering The fourth large section of the survey asked respondents questions dealing with special projects
and engineering services that may have been provided by FS offices over the course of the prior
year. This section was introduced to respondents with the following text:
“Facilities modifications and enhancements are provided on a reimbursable basis when
requested by the user. Please evaluate Project Development and Engineering if you have used
their services. In the last twelve (12) months, have you/ your office utilized any of these types of
projects and engineering services?”
282 respondents answered this question. Of those, 69.9% indicated they had not used FS
special projects or engineering services in the prior year, and were directed to the next survey
section. The remaining respondents were asked to rate their satisfaction level with the listed FS
Project Development and Engineering areas. Respondents were asked first to rate their
satisfaction level with Project Development and Engineering, and were then asked to rate the
project with respect to the criteria of “on time” and “within budget”.
Over 60% of all respondents indicated that they were at least satisfied with Project Development
and Engineering Services, though respondents were less likely to indicate higher levels of
satisfaction with these processes than with Custodial services. Overall respondents were more
likely to indicate they were dissatisfied with these services than last year’s respondents were.
Over 27% of respondents indicated they were dissatisfied with how “on time” and “on budget".

Section 7: Facilities and Services Administrative Services The fifth large section of the survey asked respondents questions regarding their experiences
with the project administration side of FS. The section lead-in read:
“In the last twelve (12) months, have you had contact with FS business office staff regarding the
administrative side of any maintenance project or Special Projects or Engineering Work (i.e.
scheduling, purchase orders, cost and/or payments)?”
279 respondents answered this question. Of those, 74.9% indicated they had not used FS special
projects or engineering services in the prior year, and were directed to the final write in option
on the survey. The remaining were asked to rate their satisfaction level with the listed FS
Administrative areas. At least 45% of respondents to this question indicated they were “Very
Satisfied” or “Extremely Satisfied” with FS Administrative services. Respondents were the most
likely to indicate dissatisfaction with the timeliness of inquiries to work status and billing. Table
6 shows a breakdown of responses for this section. In general, respondents had higher levels of
satisfaction with respect to the customer services provided by FS administration than in the
prior year.

Section 8: Environmental Health and Safety The final large section of the survey dealt with issues relating to Environmental Health and
Safety services. The introduction to this section read:
“Environmental Health & Safety is responsible for facilitating University safety by
implementing programs that will serve the students, employees and clients within the state. The
objectives of NMSU’s safety policy are to prevent personal injury or death, to reduce costs
caused by inadequate safety procedures and to reduce environmental pollution. Environmental
Health & Safety fulfills its mission to make NMSU a safe environment by implementing
programs and services in eight major areas: Education, Training and Protective Equipment,
hazardous Waste and materials Management, Health and Safety Inspection/ Faculty Audits/
Activity and Work Reviews, Regulatory Compliance, Accident and Exposure Investigations,
Exposure Prevention/Indoor Air Quality, Radiation Licensing & Permitting, and Safety
Standard & Procedures.”
Because there was the potential that not all respondents would have utilized these services in the
last year, respondents were first asked the following: “In the last twelve (12) months, have you/
your office utilized Environmental Health & Safety Services?”
283 respondents answered this question. Of those, 66.1% indicated they had not used FS
Environmental Health and Safety services in the prior year, and were directed to the next survey
section. The remaining respondents were asked, “Please rate your satisfaction level with
Environmental Health & Safety Services.”
In all cases, more than 55% of respondents indicated they had high levels of satisfaction with
these areas. Overall respondents were less likely to be dissatisfied with Environmental Health
and Safety Services than they were in the prior year’s survey. Table 7 lists the areas that
respondents were asked about as well as the percentages of responses for each question.

Final Question: Write-In The final question on the survey awarded respondents the opportunity to write in any
comments, questions, or suggestions they had about FS services. The text for this question read:
“If you have any further concerns or comments regarding the work provided by Facilities and
Services, or recommendations for services you feel Facilities and Services should explore
providing in the future, please feel free to share them here.” Respondents were limited to 5,000
characters in their responses.
Because there exists the potential for different buildings to have different needs, a summary of
responses by building can be found below. Respondents who wrote answers to this question in
the initial building write in box are counted here as well. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the
numbers of written in responses falling into this category, no number means just one person
answered this way. Responses are counted in all categories they fall into. A more general
summary may be found earlier in the document, and the full text of the write in comments can
be found in Appendix C.

Appendix A: Survey Form
This is the 3rd annual Facilities and Services Customer Service Survey. The Office of
Environmental Health and Safety and the Office of Facilities Planning and Construction were
integrated into a single work division with Facilities and Services on July 1, 2010, and questions
about services provided by all the consolidated division organizations are included.
Customer service is a key component of effective facilities management, and it is important to
Facilities and Services that our customers feel that their needs are heard, understood, and acted
upon. The Facilities and Services commitment to continuous improvement is meaningless
without input from you, and we would like for you to tell us how we are doing.
We are asking that NMSU employees take 5-10 minutes to fill out this survey to help us
determine how we can better meet the needs of the NMSU community. Please complete those
sections applicable to any services that you are familiar with; for example, Community Colleges
and Agricultural Science Centers may have only used project Development and Engineering
and/or Environmental Health & Safety services in this past year.
Please be honest. This survey is used to guide our initiatives, and the results are reported to
APPA, our professional organization. The survey summary and scores will be published, and
two years ago, there were so many positive comments received about Ron Tarazoff that he
received the Strickland Award for excellent customer service in Facilities and Services.
The survey will be available until Friday, October 21, 2011. All responses to this survey are
anonymous. For questions about this survey, please contact Glen Haubold, 646-2101,
For each question, please choose the answer you feel best represents your view. Feel free to
provide additional information or suggestions on how Facilities and Services can improve their
services in the write in box at the end of the survey
We greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the Facilities and Services Customer
Satisfaction Survey.
