Colleges and universities are making plans to return to campus amid the continued public health concerns of COVID-19 while balancing campus life, health and safety. In response to soaring demand, The Coalition for College Cost Savings (Coalition) has partnered with HRP Associates, Inc. (HRP) to offer Coalition member schools a COVID-19 Playbook to aid campuses in their COVID-19 planning and preparedness.  This Playbook has been prepared with input from HRP’s team of Professional Engineers (PE), Certificated Safety Professionals (CSP), and Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH) in conjunction with the latest guidance from organizations such as CDC, EPA and OSHA. This Playbook is presented to read as a template core plan that a college can augment with campus specific work instructions, inspections, policies and communications. Examples, instructions, practical tools and references are provided throughout the Playbook to guide the IHE in developing and implementing return-to-campus system that manages risks in balance with campus life and learning.
