In an effort to provide a safe environment, LLCC Facilities Services has implemented a new procedure to manage the disinfection of rooms and spaces. You may notice signs posted on doors, “Space has been cleaned and disinfected. Please do not enter without permission.” This is your assurance that we have disinfected the commonly touched surfaces in this space since the last scheduled use of the room, as needed. For offices that do not have scheduled use, the sign would indicate that it has been cleaned since the last time you entered. We ask that you please respect the signs and do not enter a space unless scheduled. When you do access space, please help us by moving the sign to the inside of the door. We will return it to the outside after we are finished disinfecting as per the schedule. For an additional measure, we are also using a small piece of painter’s tape to “seal” the room. Thank you for your cooperation.
