The purpose of this report is to provide a technical evaluation of the zone housekeeping system currently used at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Manage Men Operating System or (OS1)® cleaning system instituted on a pilot basis in Carroll Hall, which is currently occupied by the School of Journalism at UNC.

A special committee was formed in April 2006 to evaluate zone cleaning and a proposed (OS1)® cleaning system that was being piloted in Carroll Hall for a 90-day period. The evaluation is intended to determine which of the two systems is better for the UNC community. The committee was made up of representatives from across the campus including housekeeping, human resources, health and safety, student government, faculty council, and employee forum. The committee is independent of the administration and was tasked with providing a written report on the findings to the Director of Facilities Services.
