Front Office
The Front Office team provides a wide array of business services for SHESC faculty, staff, students, and visitors. These include key and ISAAC access, equipment checkout, building facilities, print/copy/scan support, and assisting with general school inquiries.
We help redirect general inquiries to the appropriate office or staff member.
We oversee the shipping and receiving of SHESC mail and packages, including support for Federal Express shipments.
We provide equipment checkout and currently offer laptops, mice, keyboards, and technology carts.
For teaching faculty and graduate teaching assistants, we provide a free copying service but do ask that such requests be made at least 24 hours in advance.
Need help or have a question for the Front Office team? Feel free to email us at SHESCFrontOffice@asu.edu, call us at 480-965-6215, or visit us in SHESC 233. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 5:00PM.

I forgot my office keys at home. Is it possible to check out a key for temporary use? Absolutely! SHESC keeps extra keys on hand to most offices/labs. In the event we do not have an extra key on hand, a Front Office team member can assist with allowing you access to the room for the day.
What should I do if I encounter a building facility issue? Contact the Front Office as soon as possible via email or phone, and a member of our team will initiate a FACMAN ticket on your behalf.
I need to plan an event. What do I do? Complete the Event Planning form, and a member of our team will coordinate the details with you. Be sure to review the SHESC Process Guide for ASU Food and Safety Protocol prior to selecting a vendor.
What is the process for reserving conference rooms or meeting spaces? To reserve conference rooms or meeting spaces, please complete our Room Reservation form and a member of our team will be in touch within 24 hours.
