Hadlock Student Center’s new cleaning policy

Monday, October 5th, 2020

Starting Wednesday, Oct. 7, Hadlock is introducing a new cleaning system.

Changes:

  • The white stanchions will be removed, so you will no longer place your dirty weights there.
  • The green and red signs will be removed from the cardio and weight machines.
  • Our staff will be cleaning everything hourly.

How you can help:

  • Please re-rack your own weights.
  • Use wipes or the spray bottles located in the weight room to clean your own weights and equipment between the hourly cleaning times.
  • Be patient during those cleaning times, as the disinfectant spray must sit three to five minutes before equipment can be used again.

Thank you! Questions? Contact Joy Burns (jburns17@georgefox.edu).
