Housekeeping Services

Housekeeping at Radford University is a people, service, and team-oriented department. They are responsible for all phases of cleaning operations within the Educational and General (E&G) facilities, and within the Auxiliary facilities to include residence halls, student support areas. student apartment complexes, and athletic facilities.  Housekeeping Services provides the University community with a clean, safe, sanitary and attractive environment.

The Integrated Pest Management Plan [PDF] defines the process and scope of responsibilities regarding pest management for Radford University's buildings and grounds.

The Radford University Department of Facilities Management has altered its service delivery schedule.

Below is the revised Housekeeping Service Delivery Schedule for reference. Please see additional notes about changes to our Housekeeping services:

• Housekeeping Services in unoccupied spaces will be impacted. Vacant spaces including unused classrooms/labs and unoccupied suites will not be serviced. Please schedule spaces through the Scheduling Office or submit a Service Request to allow Housekeeping services to be notified of special scheduling or events. Additional questions may be directed to Facilities Management Work Control.
• Housekeeping Services does not provide service to department/college dishware and appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, coffee makers, etc. These items and their contents should be managed by the department/college.
• Private workspaces, including offices, may require scheduling and coordination to clean. Housekeeping staff are not approved to move or relocate personal items in workspaces to achieve cleaning tasks. Service requests for cleaning around personal items will only be considered if the request is reasonable, within scope of service, and if resources are available.
• Please do not place trash cans outside of offices. Trash will be picked up on schedule. If any concerns arise over timely delivery of services, please contact Facilities Management Work Control at facilities@radford.edu.
