The majority of the work performed by the Carpenter Shop is limited to the interior of our buildings, but we do maintain various aspects of the exterior of University structures.
The shop is divided into two separate groups who concentrate on different aspects of the carpentry trade. These two groups are our carpentry crew and our maintenance crew.
