The Custodial Services Department may be reached at extension 2480 or 2850.
Custodial and event set-up services are provided by the Custodial Division (through a permanent and part-time staff organized into a decentralized model) in order to clean, sanitize and perform set-up functions so students, faculty staff and visitors to the University of Windsor can enjoy a clean, safe environment.
The tasks and schedules are based on standards set by the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers (APPA).
The operation is a 24/7 function with staff working day, afternoon, night and weekend shifts.
Custodial staff are responsible for a variety of services based on the APPA cleaning standards.
Our vision is to be a high-performance team of empowered cleaning professionals providing custodial services to the students, faculty, staff, users and visitors in a timely manner and environmentally responsible fashion that supports the educational atmosphere of the University of Windsor.
