Air Purifiers on College Campuses: A Responsibility for Administrators
The Top Three Reasons You Need Air Purifiers on Your College Campus
1.) Reduced Viral Transmission
Medical-grade HEPA air purifiers can help reduce viral transmission on campus. This keeps case numbers low and helps the college operate in-person. (It can be a major financial hit if the university goes remote and students leave.)
2.) Enhanced Learning
Colleges should be a place of learning, but numerous studies show that poor indoor air quality negatively impacts a student's ability to learn.
3.) Better Mental Health
Studies have also shown that poor indoor air quality has a drastic impact on students' mental health. Research shows that three in five (60%) college students are living with a mental health condition.

Premium Student Housing is Housing That is Free of Harmful Airborne Pollutants.
Offering air purifiers in dorm rooms and other student housing can be a selling point for colleges and universities. Parents and high-risk students will be grateful for the option to reserve a premium room with an air purifier (even if it is a higher cost). So will any student who is concerned about viral transmission or who just wants to protect their health.

Two Reasons Why Austin Air Purifiers Can Help Prevent the Spread of COVID on Campus
Reason #1: Austin Air uses a combination of activated carbon and Medical-Grade HEPA in its filters, which has been proven to remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns. In fact, Austin uses up to 15 pounds of carbon and 60 square feet of HEPA. No one else in the industry comes close to using that much.
Reason #2: The Austin Air ImmunoMate has an extra level of protection against COVID-19, with a HEGA carbon cloth. A 2009 third-party study performed by the Health Protection Agency in the U.K. tested a surrogate virus that was 23-28 nm in diameter (smaller than the COVID-19 virus) and found the activated carbon cloth both captured and deactivated the virus.
Colleges and Universities Have a Responsibility as Landlords
While colleges and universities are mainly viewed as providers of education, they are also providers of housing for a large population of students. They set the price and terms for student housing, and with this comes real estate and property management, likening them to landlords. For example, Columbia University is one of the largest property owners in New York City.
That means, it’s important that colleges and universities keep student housing safe and healthy.
