Facilities began the project of building cleaning in 2016 lead by the Director of Corrective and Preventive Maintenance, Jerry Bogna. With this project, Facilities has made several buildings around campus spotless along with the assistance of an ABA cleaning service, BelTEX. We are receiving a tremendous amount of positive feedback and comments on our social media sites from highlighting each buildings, “Before and After” photos. Many other building leads have requested for their buildings to receive their very own deep cleaning. However, the development of each building’s project is quiet tedious and requires various steps throughout the process. Specifically, with the amount of time it takes to clean a certain building. Most buildings take an average of 2 to 12 days to be completed. Recently the MD Anderson Library, for instance, took a total of 12 days to clean the entire building! While, the Ezekiel Cullen Building only required 8 days to be completed

     Each building that is considered for a cleaning goes through a “prioritized process” to determine their eligibility in being serviced. Such factors include, the current condition of the building, the availability of the building, and most importantly the level of student activity. Due to the large student population, Bogna guarantees that the building cleanings are preferably scheduled to be done during the relatively low occupancy of students. He states, “We try to schedule it [the cleanings] on holidays, breaks, weekends —anything that is outside of normal activity hours for the school. We don’t want to impact classes, if we can help it.” Nonetheless, the results of each structure is stunning and the difference in their overall appearance is definitely recognizable. Facilities is happy to have partnered with such a great company and are looking forward to many more building cleanings in the near future.
