# Asbestos Removal

The Maintenance Services Region shops oversee asbestos removal in compliance with governmental regulations. When asbestos removal is necessitated by our maintenance activity, the removal is considered a general fund expense.

If the removal is part of a renovation or construction project, the project or department is responsible for the cost of removal. To request service, call the Facilities Service Center at 734-647-2059 or visit [requests.fo.umich.edu](https://requests.fo.umich.edu).
