Buildings and labs being reopened will first undergo proper sanitation protocols. Cleaning of labs will be performed regularly by lab managers and research personnel. They will be provided training on proper cleaning methods prior to resuming lab operations.  

Buildings that house the research activities of returning researchers will be opened and maintained using new disinfection methods. Other buildings will remain closed for the time being to allow facilities resources to be shifted to areas of higher occupancy. Those same protocols will be implemented as additional buildings on campus are opened. 

New measures are being put in place all over campus to safeguard each of you:  

Georgia Tech is also implementing a wellness check protocol to help protect the health and safety of everyone in our community. This wellness check will include temperature screenings. Contact-less thermometers will be provided onsite to staff members who are unable to screen at home. All employees should self-administer the Covid-19 Daily Self-Checklist before reporting to campus. If you have a temperature greater than 100.4º F or you reply YES to any of the questions in the checklist, please follow the steps provided and do not come to work.  

These steps also apply if you begin to feel ill while at work. If that happens, notify your supervisor or manager immediately. You can find more information and download the Covid-19 Daily Self-Checklist at health.gatech.edu/coronavirus.
