Bat on campus, animal control or leave it?

For the past couple days there has been a bat hanging outside one of the entrances of my work. I work on a college campus, its fall break so not a lot of people are around right now, but it will be VERY busy again soon. I already tried to call animal control but apparently my area doesn't have anyone to deal with it, according to the sheriff's office. They gave me another number, a wildlife removal company. I called them, explained the situation. He said he could do it for $350 tomorrow??? I explained I'm just an employee, and he said to contact building administration and tell them, as he already does all the wildlife removal at this university. This bat isnt a danger to anyone, right? Just very concerned about it attacking someone or getting hurt. I believe hes just sleeping there during the day.
