How Marquardt SD15 is Leveraging Technology to Keep Their Schools Open

When the Covid-19 pandemic forced their schools to close, educators and leaders at Marquardt School District 15 (MSD15) saw firsthand the far-reaching damaging effects on their students, staff, and community. In response, they vowed to be proactive by leveraging science and technology to best keep their people healthy and doors open in the future. With discernment and diligence, they sorted through a myriad of different solutions, systems, and vendors until they discovered the what they were seeking with Pure UVC.

Utilizing ESSER funding and cooperative purchasing agreements, MSD15 opted for treatment in the areas occupied continually throughout the day: classrooms, gyms, cafeterias, and conference areas. Pure UVC hybrid solutions including hybrid troffers and hybrid high-bays were installed throughout the facility to ensure active air treatment during times of occupancy with comprehensive surface + air disinfection nightly and on-demand via the Pure UVC app. The entire system is backboned by Intelli-Safe™ to provide the high degree of customization and safety redundancies the district requires.

Staff and parents deeply appreciate the proactive steps taken by Marquardt School District 15, while their business team enjoys the savings incurred from lower staff absenteeism and reduced rates on disinfection supply spending.

Hybrid High-Bay: For large areas with high ceilings (i.e. cafeterias, gyms, auditoriums, atriums, etc.), provides upper-air treatment during occupancy and surface + air disinfection in unoccupied spaces through schedule or on-demand via Intelli-Safe™ controls.
