General Duties

The Evansdale Facilities Management Operations staff ensures that residence halls, academic buildings, and recreational facilities are maintained in a safe and comfortable environment conducive to working, living, and learning.

The Student Rec. Center cleaning staff work a 24-hour, 7-day work week schedule for the convenience of the students, faculty, and staff in order to maximize their effectiveness. 

In addition to maintaining facilities in an aesthetically pleasing condition, we have a responsibility to ensure that the buildings are cleaned with consideration to the overall health of our students, faculty and staff. With that in mind, we strive to be good stewards of the campus environment and continuously evolve our internal processes and procedures to minimize our impact on the environment.

The Evansdale Operations area encompasses over 1,704,102 sq. ft. of student housing, academic, research, and recreational and athletic facilities space. In addition we are also responsible for the care and comfort of approximately 2,350 students that live in various residence halls. Many of these facilities are also very busy during the summer months, hosting over 6,300 visitors attending more than 75 conference events with topics that range from sports and athletics to academic and professional.

Each staff member is responsible for cleaning approximately 30,000 sq. ft of space that must be inspected, cleaned, painted, and maintained. During times of special events, they also provide support services for set ups and special cleaning services as necessary. The department is committed to providing 24/7 coverage utilizing the most up-to-date training and equipment to attain the highest standards possible.
