Texas Christian University (TCU) operates a large and diverse campus that includes academic buildings, athletic facilities, and a wide range of residential housing. Like most universities, TCU occasionally faces facilities emergencies, typically related to plumbing or HVAC systems, that require immediate attention.
In those instances, BMS CAT is one of the trusted partners the university relies on for emergency restoration and recovery support.
The Challenge: Managing Campus Emergencies
TCU’s Facilities Management team plays a vital role in maintaining a safe and operational campus. According to Rodney Baker, Director of Building Maintenance, the university’s internal team is highly capable of diagnosing and addressing most issues, but certain situations, such as black water contamination, require specialized resources and rapid mobilization.
“The biggest concerns we usually have are water damage, especially in showers or air-handling units. If it’s black water, we immediately reach out to BMS.”
— Rodney Baker, Director of Building Maintenance, TCU
Craig Allen, Executive Director of Housing, echoes that sentiment. His team oversees residential and Greek housing, where occasional issues like leaking fixtures or burst pipes can emerge. In more serious situations, BMS CAT is called in to help contain and resolve the problem quickly.
“It’s a sense of relief to know I can turn the situation over quickly to BMS, and know they will take control, mobilize the right team, and get it under control fast.”
— Craig Allen, Executive Director for Housing, TCU
