We Proved It
Burton Barr relies on Velociti to deliver world-class facilities services. 365 days a year, Velociti team members work at Burton Barr (as well as 3 satellite libraries) to maintain and clean facilities, set up for events, and even maintain the pond inside the building! Velociti also performs specialty services, such as window cleaning, and maintains outdoor spaces like the entryway and parking lot.
Library officials know that they can count on Velociti to get it right every time, and view Velociti team members as an extension of their own team. Many Velociti associates have worked in Burton Barr for years, and treat the building like it’s their own.
