News:

Many Building Coordinators and Department Heads should expect a visit from their Custodial Managers during Spring Quarter to discuss our operations and provide a copy of our new Guide to Services. Continuing budget reductions since 2008 have forced us to make changes in how we do business. We want to discuss these changes and to work with our customers to find ways to ensure we are taking care of essential needs. This will be a great opportunity to let us know how we are doing.
