The FM (Facilities Management) department uses strategies for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Condition) systems to maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor building environment. FM partnered with the Department of Health, Safety, and Risk Management (HSRM) and evaluated all Office of Classroom Management assigned spaces to determine where HEPA filters will be placed for fall 2023. Visit the Facilities Management (FM) Safe Campus Support website for more information.
Search for a list of classrooms by visiting UMN Building Classroom Portable Air Filtration Unit Locations. If the room you are searching for is not listed, it does not require a portable air filtration unit because it met CDC and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) issued guidance for operating HVAC systems.
Please email Heath, Safety and Risk Management for help answering your HEPA filter questions at hsrm@umn.edu. A subject matter expert will get back to you soon.
