Cleaning & Disinfecting Classrooms

For routine cleaning: Building Services staff use regular PPE (face covering, gloves, botanical CDC-approved disinfectant and microfiber cloths) to clean and disinfect more than 650 classrooms and learning spaces each day and evening shift. Additional daily disinfection by our custodial teams is focused in facility common areas, restrooms, lobbies and common touch points such as elevator buttons, bottle fillers and handrails.

For areas of confirmed/highly suspected COVID-19 exposure: Cleaning practice is more intensive. In these instances, FMD employees don full PPE gear and then use an electrostatic spray machine to thoroughly clean the space. Electrostatic spray machines use a specialized solution that is combined with air and atomized by an electrode inside the sprayer. The spray contains positively charged particles that can thoroughly adhere to surfaces and objects, clinging to and coating any surface at which they’re aimed. This technique allows sanitizers, mold preventatives and disinfectants to evenly coat all types of surfaces, including desks, electronics, vents and small, difficult-to-reach spaces. Here is a short video of how our staff cleans and disinfects infected COVID-19 learning spaces.

Increased Efforts to Flatten the Curve

We have continued to increase the capacity of the free surveillance testing program for asymptomatic individuals at Legion Field and now can accommodate close to 500 students, faculty, and staff per day, Monday through Friday. We also have incorporated randomized testing of students, and we are specifically inviting students in certain groups (e.g., this week, those who reside in off-campus housing) to participate. We encourage all students who receive such emails to accept the invitation and schedule a test. We are also planning to include faculty and staff in the randomization protocol.

Visit the surveillance testing portal via the University Health Center’s website to schedule an appointment for asymptomatic testing at Legion Field. With our increased capacity, we are often able to accommodate same day appointments.
