I'd do it myself.
You can get waxes with a bit of stain in them that might help match the old with the new. (I imagine you can add some stain to wax, although I've never done it).
I used to have a waxed floor and I used a Sears home buffer every year or so. I have also borrowed a small industrial buffer that was faster, although not easier. I would be sure to wipe up the whole area with

Does everybody remember playing with the mercury from broken thermometers when we were little kids? Maybe you've got to be pretty old for that one. We seemed to survive.
I'm with Tofer--vacuum and forget. Maybe toss the vacuum bag if you're feeling concerned.

Bet you'd find overall better benefits/pay at GA Tech or GA State, for non-professor positions. Somewhat less at GA Perimeter College than Emory, but much easier parking! Depending on what you're looking for, you might want to look at CDC, as well.
