Campus Beautification and Facility Deep Clean

The Support Services Team has embarked on an exciting new initiative to spruce up the Campus grounds and to deep clean high traffic areas within our key buildings.

The Grounds team has renovated approximately one half of the over 400 planting beds on our three campuses. New edging, winter plants and mulch make our planting beds look great and prepare them for this spring’s new colors.

The Grounds team has also hired a contractor to haul away all of the debris that had accumulated on our campuses. Over five dumpsters have been filled with old/broken gates, abandoned construction materials, and paper and plastic that was caught in our planning beds and trees, old traffic cones, etc.

Our Environmental Service Team has embarked upon a “Deep Clean” initiative in our most heavily trafficked building. We are focusing on the public restrooms and main corridors, and have supplemented our existing EVS team with several contractors that specialize in deep cleaning and tile renovation.

The initial facilities that are being deep cleaned over the next 30 days are: Blackburn, Burr Gymnasium, College of Medicine and Administration.

More plans for improvement will be announced over the next 30 to 45 days. Stay tuned and thanks for helping us better serve our students, faculty and alumni.
