How Smart Facilities Managers Leverage Summer Break

For facility managers in private and higher education, summer isn’t a vacation; it’s an opportunity. With students off campus and buildings operating at lower capacity, this is your prime window to tackle large-scale cleaning projects that simply aren’t feasible during the academic year.

But here’s the real question:

Can your current commercial cleaning provider deliver on your facility’s full summer checklist—efficiently, thoroughly, and without cutting corners?

If not, consider a new partner for your campus cleaning services.

Why Summer Cleaning Projects Matter

Private schools and universities are held to high standards, not only by accrediting bodies but also by parents, students, and faculty who expect clean, safe learning environments. Summer is the best time to:

• Deep clean high-traffic areas like lecture halls, auditoriums, gyms, and cafeterias
• Strip and wax floors in classrooms, offices, and corridors
• Clean and sanitize dormitories from top to bottom
• Tackle overlooked areas like behind heavy equipment, HVAC vents, and ceiling tiles
• Perform disinfection protocols to ensure a healthy start to the new academic year
  
  

These are not small tasks, and not every janitorial vendor is equipped to handle them at scale.

One statistic highlighting the importance of these efforts: 22 million school days are lost annually to the common cold, and another 38 million to influenza. These numbers can be further compounded by gastrointestinal illnesses like Norovirus, which also contribute significantly to student and staff absenteeism.

That’s why summer isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about protecting health, reducing absenteeism, and creating a safer environment for learning.

Why Wait for Problems to Arise?

If your current vendor is only offering “standard” summer cleaning or struggling to meet expectations, it’s worth asking:

• Do they have the staff and training to take on campus-wide projects?
• Are they proactive or reactive in their service approach?
• Are you confident they’ll be ready when the academic year ramps back up?
  
  

If the answer to any of these is “no,” it may be time to rethink your provider.
