Organization
The Building Services Divisions consists of more than 75 employees. Building Service Technicians are assigned to a specified team within the division.
Floor Care
Most of the University buildings are on a floor buffing or cleaning rotation so that the resilient flooring (i.e. tile, terrazzo) is buffed with a propane or electric burnisher once per week or once every two weeks depending on traffic. A similar process is used for the carpeted floors. Our floor care technicians follow a rotation schedule so that the carpeted floors are cleaned with a carpet extractor or a shampoo floor machine on a regular basis. Gym floors are resurfaced on an annual basis through a rotation process.
Summer Clean Up
Building service technicians (BSTs) thoroughly clean more than 30 campus buildings during the summer months in which the majority of the student body is absent from 亚洲色图 State. This includes ceilings, walls and floors of all the academic buildings located on campus. In addition, stripping and waxing the floors; cleaning the carpets; and washing all door frames, desks, and chairs . The moving of desks, filing cabinets and other furniture may also be necessary in order to clean behind and underneath them. Light bulbs are changed and the light covers are cleaned. Blinds and windows are washed inside and outside. Showers, screens, vents, and all waste cans are also cleaned.
Special Events
Building Service Technicians are required at most sports games and large special events.
