Welcome back to the Bluff! Throughout the pandemic Physical Plant services have changed many times to keep up with best practices and campus activities. Please read our update below with information on our fall operations, as well as answers to frequently asked questions. Thank you in advance for your patience and partnership.
- During the month of August, the Physical Plant is focused on completing summer projects, essential maintenance and cleaning, setting academic and residential spaces, and supporting all of the many events surrounding student move-in and orientation. Requests outside of this scope are currently experiencing lead times of 3-6 weeks.
- While we recommend you keep some stock on hand, if you have cleaning supplies or PPE for which you no longer have a need, please place a work request through https://workrequest.campus.up.edu/ for Physical Plant to pick them up! We would love to return these items to inventory and redistribute them as needed.
- Physical Plant will continue supplying hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to departments until inventory is depleted, at which point this will be a purchase made independently by each department. Please place requests through http://workrequest.campus.up.edu/
- Departments are responsible for procuring additional items they deem necessary for their operations, including masks, gloves, and plexiglass.
- Physical Plant staff may continue wearing masks if they choose. Please respect their decision.
- Physical Plant Custodial staff will continue with many of the enhanced cleaning protocols implemented during the pandemic. Details can be found at https://www.up.edu/physicalplant/.
- Physical Plant will continue with many of the enhanced HVAC protocols implemented during the pandemic. Details can be found at https://www.up.edu/physicalplant/.
