Housekeeping Assessment

Wilmington College retained SSG to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the campus housekeeping department.  SSG toured the entire campus and observed the housekeeping staff performing their daily duties. The current contract and operating statements were reviewed and benchmarked against APPA standards.  A total campus building inventory was completed and theoretical staffing models developed, based on APPA standards.  Meetings were held with over 30 administrators, faculty, and staff...as well as over 20 students.  The project was successfully completed in November 2013.
