Campus Facilities

Effective May 23, 2023, the emergency vaccine mandate will end. COVID-19 random testing and use of Cleared4 will end by the end of June. 

Buildings and Grounds

• 45 touchless-sensor water dispensers will be installed throughout campus. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. A limited number of water coolers will be reinstalled in areas that are more than one floor away from a touchless water dispenser.
• Activities will be batched/combined where possible, so employees can reduce the number of hands touching products at the same time.
• Employees are prohibited from using other employees’ PPE, phones, computer equipment, desks, cubicles, workstations, offices, or other personal work tools and equipment.

Ventilation:

The following actions have been taken or are underway:

• ​Outdoor air ventilation has been increased by bringing in the maximum possible outside air while maintaining a stable building environment.
• During the winter season, a safe temperature for occupants and equipment is maintained, while fresh air is continuously being added and recirculated.
• During the summer season, a cooled environment and minimum humidity is maintained, while ensuring that adequate fresh air is circulating.
• HVAC equipment filters have been upgraded to those with higher ratings to improve air filtration.
• Frequent inspections and maintenance are being performed on the ventilation systems to ensure they are operating properly.
• Automatic HVAC controls have been adjusted to increase fan run-time and enhance air turnover.
• Regular inspections are continuing to ensure the proper function of all operable windows.
• Regular inspections are conducted to ensure that restroom and elevator exhaust fans are operational.
• Local air cleaning solutions have been or will be deployed where appropriate, using various applications of ultraviolet (UV) technologies and some efficiency particulate air (HEPA) solutions.​
