UMSL Custodial Services plays a vital role in sustaining a clean, healthy, and welcoming campus environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
The team is responsible for daily cleaning, sanitization, and upkeep of academic buildings, administrative offices, labs, restrooms, classrooms, and common areas across campus. Beyond routine cleaning, Custodial Services supports special events, handles emergency cleanup, and ensures spaces meet hygiene standards that promote wellbeing and productivity.
Staff are trained in sustainable cleaning practices, use environmentally responsible products, and adapt to the unique needs of each facility — from high-traffic lecture halls to delicate research areas. Their work helps create a campus where people can focus on learning, teaching, and collaborating without distraction.
UMSL Custodial Services is not just about cleanliness — it is about creating spaces that feel cared for, safe, and ready for what is next.
