The Farmington Public School district is located within the city boundaries of Farmington and Farmington Hills, Michigan (approximately 20 minutes northwest of Detroit). Our department includes 42 highly skilled maintenance and custodial personnel who clean, repair and maintain almost 2 million square feet of building space in 17 schools and three administrative facilities, encompassing over 340 acres. Our department provides oversight and support for our current $98 million dollar bond initiative. The facilities management staff also supports student learning by completing over 8,000 work orders annually, while our hybrid custodial program has received state recognition as a viable alternative to outsourcing custodial cleaning.

Pandemic Response From A Facilities Perspective
Facilities Management is responsible for student, staff and visitor safety as it relates to cleanliness and disinfecting. Our Covid response has been (and continues to be) to mitigate the spread of airborne or surface viruses that may enter our buildings. We maintain an extensive inventory of personal protective equipment that includes face masks, gloves, sanitary wipes and disinfectants. We also research and invest in new technologies to quickly address any suspected virus. As an example, the District recently purchased three Violet Defense units that eliminate all viruses and bacteria (using ultraviolet A, B, C and bluelight technology) in less than 30 minutes. These units are tripod mounted and can be moved from school to school as needed. The units work by pulsing lights during overnight hours and will even kill mold given enough applications. These Violet Defense units are laboratory-rated as a much more effective and safer solution than traditional disinfectant sprays.
