Custodial Program Information

In the face of significant budget cuts, Facilities Management will retool its custodial program this summer/fall in a manner that will allow us to successfully and efficiently clean the campus in a healthier and safer manner with 52 fewer custodians.  Guiding our planning and choices are the 3 principles of our custodial program:

  1. Clean and Safe Environment
  2. Consistent Service
  3. Cost-effective Process


We are building upon the best of what others in both business and education are using.  Our purpose is to provide the University with a high performing custodial program at a good value while providing our staff with the tools they need to provide the service safely and with reasonable effort (ex. microfiber supplies; green certified chemicals; riding equipment; routine training program; and a team cleaning work plan).  

In order to keep everyone informed about the retooled FM custodial program and the steps to implement the program, we have created this page to update staff and customers with relevant information throughout the process. The custodial program presentations (from mid-May), responses to frequently asked questions and results from the staff transportation survey are just some of the information that will be posted on this page. Please check back regularly to keep up with the latest information.
