Designing, opening and maintaining a campus recreation center in the post-COVID era carries with it the responsibility of balancing the facility's cleanability and overall maintenance with several other key priorities.
The Bakke Recreation and Wellbeing Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison employs a comprehensive approach to cleaning and maintenance to ensure a hygienic and safe environment for its users. The facility, which spans 385,000 square feet, has a dedicated team of 15 full-time custodians and additional part-time staff who work around the clock. Their cleaning regimen includes daily tasks like wiping down equipment, cleaning locker rooms, and maintaining the pool area, with specialized tasks like deep cleaning and equipment maintenance scheduled regularly. The center uses eco-friendly cleaning products and has implemented a color-coded microfiber system to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, the maintenance team focuses on preventative measures, such as regular checks and repairs of fitness equipment, HVAC systems, and other critical infrastructure to minimize downtime and ensure user safety. The management also emphasizes staff training, ensuring that all employees are well-versed in the latest cleaning protocols and safety standards, adapting to new technologies and methods to enhance the facility's cleanliness and operational efficiency.
