The Mission of Custodial Services is to provide and maintain an efficient, aesthetically pleasing and hazard free environment for students, faculty, staff, and the public.

*******Special Notice******

Due to recent budget cuts and time reductions, Physical Plant Custodial Services is cutting service frequency to all state funded (OMP) offices and labs. We are asking that you please help us by disseminating the information below to all OMP office and lab occupants in your college, building or division. These changes are taking place immediately.

1) Offices are moving from twice a week service to once a week service. All offices will be cleaned on either Monday or Tuesday each week. With a few exceptions, the work will happen during the 5:30pm-2:00am shift. We will not be able to schedule a specific day for service.

2) Labs are moving from a daily cleaning schedule to a 3x per week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule.

3) Building unlocking will begin at 6:00am.

4) We have just begun our four month time reduction schedule, November 1st through February 26th. During this period we will not be able to take on any special projects, including off-schedule floor cleanings.

5) There will be no custodial services (cleaning or unlocking) during the extended campus closure, December 19th through January 3rd.

6) All restrooms, classrooms and public areas will remain on their daily schedule.

We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause. We also appreciate your anticipated understanding. We had hoped to get this information out sooner, but the scheduling of this change has been quite challenging.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me (contact info below) or Custodial Manager, George Valerga (9-4737 or <gvalerga@ucsc.edu
