Sanitization of occupied areas is completed daily between 11:00pm - 7:00am

HVAC systems operate 24/7 for continuous air circulation
Over 70 new ventilation units have been installed in the Collins and Kennedy buildings to allow for the digital control of temperature as well as outside air coming into the building.
High-efficiency air filters have been installed in all air handling equipment
Portable air filter units with high-efficiency filters are used in spaces that require additional filtered air flow
