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.

Bard EMS is a student-run organization of trained and state-certified EMS first-response volunteers. EMS sets their on-call schedule at the beginning of the semester and announces it to the entire community. In response to COVID-19 concerns, some schedule and staffing changes have been made. Community members should always contact Security in case of an emergency and if EMS is on call they will respond; if they are not, Security will contact 911. Bard EMS responds to medical emergencies on campus. Services are confidential and are provided free of charge.
