How has the UW addressed ventilation in classrooms?
Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, UW Facilities has worked closely with EH&S to adjust building ventilation systems as public health guidelines have evolved. The University has purchased more than 2,000 air purifiers to install as needed in classrooms on all three campuses. Learn more about Facilities’ work on air quality and EH&S’ details on ventilation standards.
In addition, the COVID-19 Prevention in Learning Spaces guide has been updated and outlines responsibilities of instructors, students, instructional support staff and building coordinators, as well as cleaning protocols for classrooms and informal learning spaces.
