At the close of the Fall Semester 2021, the Preventative Measures Advisory Board (PMAB) transitioned to an inactive status. Many of its recommendations from the previous two academic years are now standard operating procedures at UGA. While the PMAB is no longer holding regular meetings or responding directly to requests for assistance in identifying and implementing preventative measures regarding the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19, the PMAB members stand ready to actively engage in providing guidance and recommendations to the University community should conditions change. The Environmental Safety Division remains available to support the University community and will continue to operate and monitor the PMAB Help Desk to answer questions or concerns regarding SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 preventative measures.
PMAB is led by co-chairs Lisa Nolan, Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, and John McCollum, Associate Vice President for Environmental Safety. Many of its recommendations during the pandemic are now standard operating procedures at UGA.
As we approach the close of the Spring Semester, we would like to express our gratitude to our faculty, staff and students for your patience and flexibility over the past two years. Through your collective efforts, the University of Georgia has persevered through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We offer a special thanks to […]
Departments should determine for themselves whether to keep or remove plexiglass based on their needs/assessment. Most are free standing and can be removed by the unit if they choose. FMD is looking into setting up collection days and times to facilitate removal and disposal and will notify units when that plan is in place.

Study spaces at a glance:
Need a spot to log in to your online class while on campus? Consider using one of the Zoom Zones at the Main Library or the Miller Learning Center. The Main Library’s fourth floor study room is perfect for engaging in classes because it’s a place where talking isn’t frowned upon. At the MLC, the east side of the second and third floors (near the stadium) are designated as Zoom Zones. Headphones are encouraged, but feel free to speak up and engage in your online class in those study spots.
Speak with your department head who, if needed, will contact the FMD Work Request Center.
While this is a joint effort between FMD and unit leadership, schools, colleges and departments are ultimately responsible for requesting plexiglass barriers and deciding the type, size, use and location of the plexiglass barriers based on assessment of their needs.
Plexiglass barrier requests should be submitted through the FMD Work Request Center.
The standard sizes advertised and made by FMD are 24”X30”, 36”X30” and 48”X30”. Some custom installations are also available at the units’ request based on the specific needs of their faculty, staff and students which also determines the type, size, use and location of the plexiglass barriers.
Plexiglass barriers, also known as “sneeze guards,” reduce the chance of direct person-to-person droplet transmission. More information about plexiglass barriers can be found here.
If viral conditions change substantially, we will be ready to adapt to keep our community safe. We will continue to provide health and safety counsel to senior administrators as needed. We are constantly monitoring local, national, and global viral conditions and will make changes to our policies if necessary.
If necessary, the university will communicate with campus community members about protocols and other changes through emails, social media posts and updates to the COVID-19 website.

The University System of Georgia (USG) continues to recognize COVID-19 vaccines and boosters offer safe, effective protection and urges all students, faculty, staff, and visitors to get vaccinated and/or boosted either on campus or with a local provider. As USG works closely with the Georgia Department of Public Health to prioritize the health and safety of campus communities, the system encourages people to wear masks based on their preference and assessment of personal risk.
Departments that are interested in having masks on hand can order them at no cost while supplies last through UGAmart.
