Facilities Employees and COVID-19
The Facilities Division has developed safety protocols to create a safe and positive work environment for employees working on campus. These safety measures were developed based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OSHA and the state of North Carolina.
Spring 2021 Return To Work
As the spring semester begins, return to campus testing is required for some employees. Here’s how to schedule an appointment and learn more. Submit results to NC State (use this quick resource guide for step-by-step instructions). All employees are required to complete training. The Facilities Division’s Spring PackReady plan is available here.
