On-campus housing HVAC complaints

Report HVAC problems by calling Central Utilities at 936-261-3880. The university says to use that number for HVAC complaints both between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and after hours.

  • Use the same phone number for daytime and after-hours HVAC complaints.
  • This is the PVAMU contact for university facilities issues, not an off-campus landlord line.
  • If you need help finding the right housing office, PVAMU Housing is listed at 700 University Drive in Prairie View.

Who handles what in PVAMU housing areas

PVAMU’s Building Maintenance office handles university facilities except dorms, while Housing and Residence Life lists the on-campus communities and staff contacts for residential housing. That means the repair path can differ depending on whether the problem is in a dorm-style residence or another campus facility.

  • Building Maintenance says work requests should include as much detail as possible and contact information.
  • The housing site shows on-campus communities managed by American Campus Communities, including University College, University Village, University View, and University Square.
  • For off-campus housing, PVAMU says it does not endorse or manage those properties, so students must contact the property manager or landlord directly.
