As the COVID pandemic winds down, it’s time for TTU to adjust accordingly. Several countermeasures across campus are no longer necessary and need to be disposed of properly. This includes plexiglass barriers, Enviroklenz air purifiers, and foot-operated hand sanitizer stations. Over the course of this summer, Facilities personnel will support the campus by disposing of any undesired countermeasures, but we need your help.
Each department/building needs to determine which pieces are no longer desired, and with the help of the building coordinators, designate a room/space ALL these surplus pieces can be safely stored (fire code doesn’t allow these to be stored in hallways). Once the unwanted pieces are gathered, the building coordinator (or their designee) can submit a work request ( https://www.tntech.edu/facilities/forms.php ) for the Logistics department, who will remove the unwanted pieces from the storage location and properly dispose of them.
For those that choose to keep the Enviroklenz portable air purifiers (primarily located in classrooms, open offices, and common areas) for their departments use, TTU will provide you with spare HEPA filters before the end of the summer so you can continue to utilize the units for years to come (each HEPA filter is recommended for 2 years of use), we will also provide information related to the paper filters and UV light bulbs your department will also need to service these purifiers.
Thank you for your support making the disposal of these countermeasures as efficiently as possible.
