EHS Community Health Measures
Our highest priority always is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We are following regulations and expert guidance from government health agencies, and taking the following measures to help protect the health of our community:
EPA Recommended Disinfecting Standards
All high-touch areas like elevators and door handles, are frequently disinfected with EPA-listed products specifically indicated for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Additional Specialty Cleaning in Amenity Spaces
Common areas, work and amenity spaces are being disinfected more frequently with adjusted hours to allow for daily detailed cleaning.
Touchless Hand Sanitizer
Touchless sanitizers are available in the elevator areas and the common spaces.
Recommended Protective Wear for Residents and Staff
Staff and residents are encouraged to wear face coverings in common spaces.
Maintenance staff will wear appropriate face covering for all service calls.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping to maintain a healthy and safe community, and we are continuously taking proactive measures against the spread of the virus.
