 Facilities Services manages and oversees a third-party contract who provides custodial services for the campus community. The contract details the frequency and specification for all services provided in order to keep the campus safe and clean. There is 242,000 m2 (2,604,000 ft2) of occupied space that is cleaned regularly at all of our campuses, with some areas cleaned twice daily to accommodate evening classes. |
