Building Ventilation Assessment Status

Most campus buildings are equipped with heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) that meet the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommendations for COVID-19 filtration. Please review the list of campus buildings that fall below ASHRAE HVAC recommendations.

If your building appears in the list, please review mitigation plans for the following types of rooms: 

Single Occupancy Offices (without dedicated ventilation) 
Most of these spaces have already been allocated a portable HEPA air purifier. If your space has not, you may submit an evaluation request. 

Multiple Occupancy Offices 
Most of these spaces have already been allocated a portable HEPA air purifier. If your space has not, you may submit an evaluation request. 

Conference Rooms 
Most of these spaces have already been allocated a portable HEPA air purifier. If your space has not, you may submit an evaluation request. 

General Assignment and Departmental Classrooms  
Most of these spaces have already been allocated a portable HEPA air purifier. If your space has not, you may submit an evaluation request. 

Single Occupancy Offices (with dedicated ventilation) 
No portable HEPA air purifier is required when one person is in the office.  When additional persons are in the office, occupants are encouraged to adhere to the following guidance: 

• Be fully vaccinated, open any operable windows when safe and outdoor UCLA Air Quality Index (AQI) is below 150, and leave doors open 
• If all occupants are not fully vaccinated, maintain six feet of physical distance and wear face masks 
• If all occupants are not fully vaccinated, and six feet of physical distance cannot be maintained, hold meetings virtually or seek temporary use of alternate spaces (conference rooms, for example) that can accommodate physical distancing  

You may still request an evaluation of your space for the installation of a portable air purifier by Environment, Health & Safety and Facilities Management.
