Preparing for a safe return to campus

Facilities & Services is working diligently with campus partners on many of these safety measures. Visit the UTogether webpage for University-wide COVID-19 related information.
How F&S is supporting the 12 ways U of T is preparing for a safe return
BUILDING ACCESS
When entering a room or space, members of the University community can swipe their TCard on the TCard+ Device. This device can grant or deny access based on a list of authorized users and/or pre-programmed room or space capacity limits.
BUILDING SIGNAGE
To inform visitors, students, faculty and staff about U of T’s mask and UCheck requirements, F&S staff posted signs in exterior doorways of occupied campus buildings.
BUILDING VENTILATION
Our COVID-19 HVAC strategy has been continually updated to align with public health guidelines and emerging evidence. This strategy complements the rest of the safety measures—such as the mask policy—to ensure a well-rounded approach to safety.
ENHANCED CLEANING
We're committed to providing a safe, healthy environment for research and education. Find detailed information in our COVID-19 caretaking strategy.
