Going above and beyond: Stories from UNT's COVID-19 response:
Van Cross of the Facilities Custodial Team works a tough schedule: Way, way before sunrise until lunchtime. He's been working during the pandemic to sanitize campus buildings, stock restrooms and accomplish small cleaning projects taking advantage of the vacant buildings across UNT.
One recent morning, while preparing for a special cleaning project, he heard dripping water in the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building and discovered a failed research system pumping water into the building. Mr. Cross notified a stand-by technician to get the leak stopped, contacted his supervisor and manager to rally a team to assist and began gathering and using water extraction equipment.
Van's attentiveness and quick response saved “many thousands of dollars in clean-up and restoration costs,” according to Randy Salsman of the Facilities Maintenance construction team that is overseeing the recovery and repairs to the building. Associate Vice President of Facilities Dave Reynolds says, “Van Cross is representative of many of the Facilities Team and others across the campus who are unselfishly taking care of our campus and students during a unique time in history. We should all be proud to work with such teammates.”
