Housekeeping services of the College are provided by a contractor (General Maintenance Company, Inc.) managed by Facilities Management. Everyone has a part in helping maintain our facilities and making our college a pleasant environment for our students, visitors, and our fellow employees. The Housekeeping Contractor has the function of cleaning and maintaining all interior rooms throughout the campus. They also provide other services such as solid waste removal, recycling removal, assistance with waste and food waste, exterior window cleaning service, floor restoration and distribution of marker board supplies. The Housekeeping Contractor has a specific list and frequency of performing certain tasks within their contract; however, every item or situation cannot be covered in their contract. That is why we ask you to go through Facilities Management when requesting service from the contractor. If you have specific service requests, contact Customer Service at Extension 6000.

If you have general concerns or questions, or need additional information about the performance of the contractor, please direct those issues to the Facilities Management Manager or Director.
