| Department | Status |
|---|---|
| Athletics | Wayne State University Department of Athletics has produced a "Return To Campus" document to help answer questions that students, faculty and staff have before they return. All spring sports are temporarily suspended. Student-athletes will receive separate guidance on resuming practice or competition from the athletics department and their coaches based on the direction of the Public Health Subcommittee of the Campus Coronavirus Committee. |
| Campus Library System | University libraries and computer labs have implemented new processes for cleaning of spaces and equipment, as well as new guidelines to facilitate social distancing. Accommodations are being developed at all libraries to create increased access to materials. Libraries will be open to Wayne State students, faculty and staff only; your OneCard will be required to enter. For more information about access and hours, visit the Library Access and Services Guide. The libraries will continue to provide online access to collections and services, including reference and instruction.

| Custodial services | Custodial staff has returned to campus to address general cleaning issues and focus on cleansing high-touch-point surfaces including doors, hardware and handles, wall-mounted devices, access panels, and elevators. Trash and recycling collection have been modified. For information on a safe return to campus and clear protocol while navigating through campus, review the Facilities Campus Restart Playbook. |
