Safety First is Our Highest Priority
As DPAC looks forward to reopening, the health and safety of our Community is our highest priority. Things may look different at DPAC when we reopen for events. To protect Guests, Staff, Vendors and Visiting Shows, we are doing a lot of little things that will make a big difference.
Commitment to Clean
Per CDC guidelines, and using EPA certified cleaning agents and disinfectants, DPAC is deep-cleaned after every performance with high-touch surfaces cleaned more frequently and no less than six-times daily
Clean and Safe Team
Designated Sanitization Compliance Officers, and a 100% increase in cleaning and disinfection staff before, during and after events
GBAC Star Certification
Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) gold-standard certification for cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention
Safety Everywhere
We’ve added over 150 hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipe dispensers throughout DPAC
Hand Hygiene
Staff Members and guests required to hand sanitize before entry plus staff frequently wash hands during their shifts
Contactless
Contactless ticket scanning, restroom fixtures, food & drink ordering and payment processing
Physical Distancing
Staggered arrival times for guests and six-foot distancing markers for entry to lobbies and other places where lines may form
Face Coverings
Face coverings for staff and guests as required by local and state health officials
Wellness Checks

Sick or Symptomatic?

Plus, DPAC is coordinating a $250,000 investment by the City of Durham for new, state-of-the-art cleaning and disinfectant equipment, plus building modifications and touchless fixtures to help DPAC always remain virus free.
