Building Services is responsible for all housekeeping activities, extermination needs and removal of trash and recyclables in all Main Campus and Scott Park buildings. This includes the Residence Halls, Student Union and Student Recreation Center along with all academic sites.

There are approximately 150 custodians working on three shifts Monday through Friday with limited coverage on weekends in the Student Union, Residence Halls and Student Recreation Center. Our responsibilities include the cleaning of over 4.6 million square foot of space. There are more than 420 restrooms, over 400 classrooms and labs as well as hundreds of offices, corridors, entrances and stairwells.

Building Services provides daily custodial cleaning of all restrooms, shower rooms, public corridors and entrances. Offices will have their trash emptied every other day and will be thoroughly cleaned once every two weeks which will include cleaning the phone receiver, dusting all open horizontal surfaces and vacuuming the carpeting or dust mopping and damp mopping tile flooring.

Building Services is available for special event clean-ups on an overtime basis to be billed to your department. Please recognize the need for prior notification so we can serve the event in the best possible manner. Please contact Robert Boyd via email at robert.boyd@utoledo.edu or Dan Royer via email at daniel.royer@utoledo.edu. You can fax over the request as well to 419-530-7236.

Floor work and carpet cleaning requests generally have a 6 to 7 week lead time depending on the time of year. Should you require emergency floor or carpet cleaning for a special event without being able to give appropriate notification in advance of the event, please contact Tim Day via email at tim.day@utoledo.edu or John Murnen at john.murnen@utoledo.edu. They will get back in touch with you for the details of your needs.

Extermination needs should be called into the Facilities Work Center at 419-530-1000. They will forward your insect, bird and rodent problems to us.
