The Custodial Services Cleaning Program uses EPA-registered disinfectant that meet the agency’s “emerging viral pathogen” guidelines.

Service to Private Offices

The WCU Custodial Department is committed to the mission of providing a safe and healthy learning and working environment for all of the campus’ students, employees and guests. We have adjusted our operating procedures to ensure your private offices stay private by limiting personnel into your space.  Office suites, reception desks, and cubicles will continue to be serviced daily. We encourage anyone with a private office to put their waste and recycling into centrally located waste and recycling bins around their office suite hallways where it will be removed.  If there are other service needs (ex. Vacuuming, dusting, etc.) please submit a Maintenance Request with "Type of Work" as "Custodial Related". Most requests are handled within 24 to 48 hours.

In a letter from the President and CEO, Blake Krapf he wrote “We are emphasizing enhanced disinfecting practices on our vehicles, particularly in ‘high touch’ areas and particularly if passengers or others exhibit any symptoms associated with respiratory illness, such as coughing and sneezing.  Areas of focus will include enter/exit handrails, head rests and seat back, steering wheel and dash area.  We will use high strength disinfectants and sani-wipes and disposable gloves.  Our Procurement Department has commenced securing greater quantities of these supplies and our Operations leaders have commenced implementation steps”
