Facilities Fall Prep 2023
During the summer months, in preparation for the start of the fall semester, Mason Facilities runs through an extensive checklist to get all campuses ready for the academic year. From landscaping upkeep to classroom refreshes to updating signage, Facilities ensures that each experience on campus is one of quality. See our website for some examples of how Facilities handles the operations of making Mason run smoothly.
Adding New Aunt Flow Dispensers to Mason Campuses
This Summer 2023, Mason Facilities installed Aunt Flow Dispensers on the Fairfax, Mason Square, and Sci-Tech Campuses. This was done in partnership with The Patriot Period Project, a student-run organization that provides free feminine products in a few locations on Mason’s campuses. Mason Facilities collaborated with The Patriot Period Project and provided Aunt Flow dispensers as a way to provide free feminine care products across all three main Mason campuses. Current locations of the dispensers can be found on our website.
