How are the residence halls and rooms cleaned?
Residential students often form very fond relationships with the cleaning staff in their buildings because cleaners are permanently assigned to particular buildings. Common spaces, including hallways and lobbies, are cleaned daily. Corridor bathrooms are cleaned three times a week and suite bathrooms are cleaned once a week. Students living in Saratoga and Putnam are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. All halls have trash rooms and recycling box areas. Students are responsible for removing trash from their own rooms and bringing it to the trash/recycling room or loading dock.
In the new halls, custodians are responsible for the cleanliness and upkeep of all public areas such as restrooms, laundry rooms, recreation rooms, lounges, vending areas, offices, hallways, and stairways. You are responsible for cleaning your own suite, including bathrooms, and must follow the university recycling policy by properly disposing of all trash in central recycling areas. We remind you to be considerate of custodians when disposing of trash or using residence hall common areas.
