Lion Athletics and CASPR Group Team Tackle COVID-19

Sweeping agreement reached to install COVID-fighting technology to protect the university’s athletics department and student-athletes

COMMERCE – Texas A&M University-Commerce and CASPR Group announced a partnership which will see the Lion Athletics install CASPR's award-winning disinfection technology throughout the school's athletics facilities.
 
The A&M-Commerce Lions are flagship members of the Lone Star Conference and represent the university in Division II intercollegiate sports. The Lions are represented by nearly 450 student-athletes in 14 sports.
 
"CASPR technology has quickly established itself as a Best in Class partner for Lion Athletics and our institution," said A&M-Commerce Director of Athletics Tim McMurray. "Throughout this pandemic, we have placed safety, health, and risk mitigation as our highest priority for our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. It is a true point of difference that CASPR is aligned with us on these guiding principles."
 
"We are excited to partner with Texas A&M University-Commerce as they tackle the challenges of this pandemic," said CASPR CEO and TAMUC alum Scott Wheeler. "More and more universities recognize that the entire environment must be treated, air and surface, if we are going to win the fight against COVID-19. It also helps that the technology works against bacteria, such as staph, especially within an athletic environment."
 
Under the agreement, CASPR technology was installed throughout Lion Athletics' facilities to provide 24/7 continuous disinfection to the lobby, meeting rooms, offices and locker rooms for all sports including Football, Basketball, Soccer, Softball, Golf, Volleyball, and Track & Field. 
 
CASPR technology was installed within TAMUC's existing HVAC systems to treat a majority of the air and surfaces within the facility. Individual portable units were also installed to ensure optimal coverage in hard-to-reach spaces. Independent lab tests show CASPR technology effectively reduces up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and mold, including SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
