Every parent on a campus tour is an inspector.

Campus custodial is judged by people who are not facilities professionals: students, parents, donors, and accreditation visitors. The standard is visible cleanliness, on a calendar that never quite lets up.

What goes wrong

The risk profile in this kind of building.

The summer turn

Hundreds of rooms in a compressed window between move-out and move-in. Miss the window and the semester starts badly for everyone.

Perception is the metric

A residence hall restroom does more damage to enrollment perception than almost anything else on campus, and it is entirely preventable.

Bid cycle pressure

Fiscal calendars, formal RFPs, and long approval chains mean the decision has to be made before the need is urgent.

Standards that apply

What you are being held to.

We work to these every day. Ask us for the documentation and you will have it the same week.

Formal RFP and bid response with complete documentation
Background checks and drug screening on everyone working around students
Insurance certificates and compliance packets ready before award
Coordination with residence life, athletics, and events calendars
Green cleaning practices where the institution requires them

A tiered lecture hall at an HM Solutions account, cleaned and reset between sessions — Lecture halls get reset between sessions, not once a day.

A campus training room with tables and chairs reset in rows — A training room, reset overnight and ready before the first class.

A carpeted elevated walkway between campus buildings, freshly cleaned — Connector walkways carry the whole building's foot traffic. They show wear first.
