Custodial

Yograj Khatri is our academic and administrative building custodial team supervisor. Logan McIntyre supervises our auxiliary custodial services team and Laurie Martin is supervisor for our student housing custodial team. Our general custodian staffing hours are 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 pm. and evening custodian hours are from 1:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.  Auxiliary custodial services provide service to Housing and all Auxiliary buildings between the hours of 4:00 am to 10:30 pm. 

Custodial Services Provided:

• Restrooms
• Classrooms
• Laboratories
• Walkways
• Common Areas (Kitchens, Breakrooms, Copy Rooms, Hallways, Lobbies)
• Snow/Ice mitigation etc...

Service priority: Restrooms, classrooms and learning spaces, and high-traffic common areas.

Note: Custodians are responsible for hand snow shoveling walkways around their assigned buildings. This additional duty takes them away from their interior duties. During inclement weather our staff performs the following duties in the following order: Snow shoveling, restroom cleaning, classroom cleaning, public area cleaning, and if time allows then they start on laboratories and finally offices. This may mean that these latter space types are skipped for the week.

Cleaning Services Details:

As Facilities Services continues to adapt to changing campus resources and staffing levels, we are adjusting how custodial services are delivered across campus. Our goal is to focus available resources on the spaces that have the greatest impact on student success, health, safety, and the overall campus experience.

Custodial services will continue to prioritize restrooms, classrooms and learning spaces, and high-traffic common areas. As a result, some services in administrative and individual office areas will be reduced or provided less frequently than in the past.

We recognize that these changes may require additional support from all of us. By working together, we can continue to maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment while directing limited resources to the areas of highest use and greatest community benefit.

The health, safety, and quality of life of our students remain our highest priority. We are equally committed to supporting faculty and staff by maintaining spaces that foster teaching, learning, research, and collaboration. While some service levels will change, our commitment to serving the campus community remains unchanged.

We appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and partnership as we navigate these challenges together. The pride we all take in our campus is a shared responsibility, and your support helps us continue providing the best possible service with the resources available.

Service Outline:

Academic Buildings

• Classrooms: Cleaned daily (Monday through Friday) and prioritized to ensure readiness before morning classes.
• Restrooms: Primary cleaning begins at 9:00 a.m., followed by a refresh service around noon before shift changes.

Offices

• Routine custodial services in individual offices within academic and administrative buildings will be reduced as staffing is focused on restrooms, classrooms, and common areas. 
• Office occupants are encouraged to dispose of desk-side trash and recycling in larger collection containers located in kitchens, break rooms, copy rooms, hallways, and other shared spaces. 
• Facilities Services does not provide trash can liners for individual office trash receptacles. This supports campus sustainability goals by reducing plastic waste and helps ensure efficient use of limited staffing resources.

Common Areas and Restrooms

• Break rooms, copy rooms, hallways, lobbies, and restrooms will continue to be cleaned daily (Monday through Friday).
• Trash and recycling will be collected from shared collection locations during regular service rounds.

Classrooms

• Trash and recycling containers have been relocated to hallway locations outside most classrooms.
• Faculty and staff are encouraged to remind students to dispose of trash and recycling in these designated collection areas.
• Relocating containers allows custodial staff to service waste and recycling more efficiently and with less disruption to instructional activities.
• Please do not place trash inside classroom podiums.

Whiteboards

• Faculty and staff will be responsible for erasing classroom whiteboards after use.
• To preserve the life and effectiveness of whiteboards, please use only approved whiteboard cleaner or water. Other cleaning products may damage the surface.

Additional Collection Containers

• Additional trash and recycling containers have been placed in common areas throughout campus.
• If you believe additional collection points are needed, please submit a work order identifying the requested location.

Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care

• Carpet extraction and hard-floor refinishing requested through work orders will generally be scheduled during academic breaks whenever possible.
• If furniture relocation is required, arrangements should be coordinated in advance with the Materials, Acquisitions, and Distribution team.
