Residence Accessibility

Bard’s Buildings and Grounds Department provides routine maintenance to prevent maintenance and mold concerns, and Bard’s Environmental Services Department cleans residence hall common areas on a daily basis. Buildings and residence hall rooms are inspected multiple times per year. If you believe that you have mildew or mold in your residence hall room, please complete a work order as soon as possible so the issue can be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.
