Laboratories
Laboratories receive service five times per week. The desire of Custodial Services is to maintain the integrity of any experiment/research occurring on campus. We also strive to provide the custodian with a safe working environment. Because of the unique nature of laboratories, there are some tasks that custodial staff refrain from performing. All dusting in laboratory areas is to be performed only by laboratory occupants. Scrubbing, stripping and refinishing of hard surface floors is done at certain times of the year that are the least intrusive to the occupants of the laboratory which may result in a frequency schedule more closely related to the laboratory usage. Chalkboards or marker boards are cleaned only upon request so as not to remove data essential for any ongoing experiments.
