Custodial Policy and Rates 2025-2026:
The current rate for Custodial Services is $62/hour, with a 2-hour minimum ($124), for all public and GSD events hosted in multi-purpose rooms, including Piper, Stubbins, Portico Rooms, Loeb Library Lobby, Druker Design Gallery, Chauhaus, or any exterior space. A 4-hour minimum may be imposed when the event is one or more of the following: held after 3 PM, includes a reception or sit-down meal, requires the use of more than one room, involves catering staff, or is scheduled on a heavy academic support day. Events that request a dedicated custodian will have a 4-hour minimum ($248.00*). Lastly, for large-scale events with 100+ attendees or any weekend event, custodial coverage will be charged for the duration of the event plus 2 hours of set-up and 2 hours of breakdown. The number of custodians needed for the event will be determined by Facilities and Campus Operations or by the formula of (1) custodian for every 100 attendees.
Custodians will be given any instructions listed in SERT by the Facilities and Campus Operations Office so it is important to be as detailed as possible in your room requests. *Please note that an estimate of charges will be given when making requests. Due to overtime or more time needed for clean up this cost could go and will be communicated to the event requestor.
Facilities and Campus Operations reserves the right to charge Custodial Fees due to misuse of space or policies that result in custodial staff being unable to accomplish their regularly scheduled shift work.
