About The Spence School

Founded by Clara B. Spence in 1892,The Spence School is an independent, college-preparatory day school in New York City serving a diverse community of girls from Kindergarten through Grade 12. With a commitment to academic excellence and personal integrity, the Spence School prepares students for lifelong transformation with purpose, passion, and perspective. Renowned for its rigorous academics, vibrant arts program, and strong athletics, the school operates across multiple campuses, providing comprehensive educational facilities to support its mission.

The Problem

Maintaining Cleanliness Across Multiple Campuses

The school faced the challenge of maintaining high standards of cleanliness across its multiple campuses. With over 900 students, teachers, and staff moving through the buildings daily, ensuring a clean and safe environment was paramount. The high-traffic areas, such as classrooms, restrooms, dining halls, art spaces, and athletic facilities - that includes NYC’s premier squash center with nine courts - required frequent and thorough cleaning to prevent the spread of germs and ensure a healthy learning environment. Managing different cleaning vendors and ensuring uniform cleanliness standards across all locations proved to be a complex and time-consuming task.

The Solution

Comprehensive and Consistent Cleaning Services

To address these challenges, the school partnered with Slate to streamline their cleaning operations. Slate developed a comprehensive cleaning plan tailored to the specific needs of each campus. By standardizing cleaning procedures, they ensured that all areas met the same high standards of cleanliness.

Slate's approach included:

• Flexibility: Adapting to the unique schedules and needs of each campus to ensure consistent cleaning.

• Consistency: Implementing standardized cleaning procedures across all locations to maintain uniform cleanliness.

• Efficiency: Consolidating cleaning operations into a single vendor solution, reducing administrative burden and simplifying billing processes.

Slate provided expertly-trained cleaning teams equipped with appropriate cleaning products and equipment. With 14 full-time staff dedicated to the school, they ensured that every area was meticulously maintained. Regular communication ensured that any specific cleaning needs or changes in schedules were promptly addressed.

The Results

Clean and Welcoming Environment

With Slate’s reliable and consistent cleaning services, the school now enjoys a spotless and hygienic environment across all its campuses. This has freed up administrative resources, allowing the school to focus on its core mission of providing exceptional education. Students, teachers, and staff benefit from a clean and healthy environment, supporting their academic and extracurricular activities.

By partnering with Slate, the Spence School has upheld its high standards of cleanliness, enhancing the overall well-being of its community. This collaboration not only improves the learning environment but also reinforces Spence’s dedication to the health and safety of its students and staff – helping them to continue preparing young women for the lifelong transformation of self and the world.
