Below is additional information related to reports of suspected mold:
- Any time the University receives a report of suspected mold in a residence hall, there is a swift and coordinated response from ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s Offices of Environmental Health and Safety, Facilities Management and Residence Life.
- When the report references an air conditioning unit, our Maintenance Department immediately cleans it appropriately, whether we believe there is mold or not.
- When the reported concern is unrelated to an air conditioning unit, the room is first evaluated by trained staff from our Environmental Health and Safety Team who use the Dampness and Mold Assessment Tool created by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health—a branch of the CDC.
When mold is identified, we work quickly to address the situation by:
- Cleaning and disinfecting affected areas.
- Assessing and ensuring proper air circulation.
- Having maintenance staff check the HVAC unit to make sure it’s working optimally.
- Providing a dehumidifier (delivered within 24 hours) in instances where the humidity levels are found to be elevated.
- As a note: The air conditioning and ventilation in the residence hall rooms are not interconnected. Each room has an individual air conditioning unit. So, an issue in one room is not symptomatic of a larger issue within the entire residence hall.
If your room will not open to your Wildcard:
Please see your RA or call Public Safety to access your room.
If you lost your Wildcard:
