ACC, Lysol Develop COVID Protocols for Student Housing

Student housing REIT American Campus Communities, headquartered in Austin, is collaborating with Lysol maker RB on a formalized approach to cleanliness and disinfection at its communities in response to COVID-19.

Developed by RB’s hygiene specialists and ACC’s COVID-19 task force members, the program will analyze community cleaning and disinfection protocols; provide ACC community staff with cleaning guidelines, procedures and training on the proper products to use; and educate residents on appropriate cleaning and healthy living practices. It will focus on cleanliness and disinfection practices in ACC communities’ residential units and in common areas.

“Our collaboration with the global industry leader RB and their Lysol brand will help ensure our team members have the necessary cleaning products as well as protocols to follow so they can take the steps needed to help residents do their part when it comes to mitigating the spread of the virus,” said Bill Bayless, ACC’s CEO.
