<strong>CUT</strong> ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2011</strong> | 67<br />
Teachers’ Education Complex<br />
All projects are on schedule for delivery.<br />
The outsourcing of cleaning services in 21 buildings on campus, including the five student residences, was initiated in <strong>2011</strong> to able<br />
the university to reduce its dependence on temporary staff and labour agencies within the cleaning and maintenance environment.<br />
The concept of team leaders within the cleaning and gardening corps was also introduced in <strong>2011</strong>. The concept provides reasonable<br />
prospects of opportunities, growth and acquisition of supervisorial skills to manage and lead others in the future.<br />
Energy management and sustainability<br />
As an ongoing project initiated in 2010, the Facilities Management Unit continued in <strong>2011</strong> to explore avenues that will assist in<br />
managing and curtailing rising energy costs – for instance the replacement of light-bulbs with low-energy alternatives, and<br />
engagement with Eskom on a number of initiatives, including the installation of water-saving showerheads, power-saving light<br />
fittings, and solar-powered heat pumps to replace electric geysers.<br />
Vehicle fleet management<br />
The following vehicles were purchased in <strong>2011</strong> as part of the vehicle replacement programme, including: one 22-seater Volkswagen<br />
minibus; three Quantum minibuses; four 9-seater Hyundai vehicles, one of which was earmarked for the Welkom campus fleet; and<br />
two Hyundai Elantra sedans.
