Custodial Services

Custodial Services is responsible for maintaining a high level of facility cleanliness and waste management in all campus interior spaces to support students, faculty, and staff activities. Our custodial team utilizes leading edge cleaning equipment, products, and processes that exceed typical modern day green cleaning practices.

Dalhousie University is split into four distinct campuses (Studley, Carleton, Sexton, and Agriculture), and to provide custodial cleaning services to the over 140 campus buildings (totalling almost 5 million square feet of interior space), Custodial Services is organized into seven teams. Each team is staffed by a dedicated group of professional cleaners who are committed to maintaining a high standard of cleanliness in all campus facilities in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Below is a listing of our Custodial Services Leadership Team including their their areas of responsibility and contact information:
