10/5/17: Informational Notice Regarding Smell and Fans in Willamette Hall

Building Occupants,

Last night around 12:45 am there was food in the microwave of Willamette 471 that caused smoke in the room.  Custodial opened the catwalk windows on the 4th floor, balcony doors in suite 470, and a few offices.  UOPD requested fans to help with the dissipation of the smell.  Fans have been placed in rooms 470 and 471.

The microwave from 471 was very pungent of smoke and was placed on the secured balcony of suite 470.  This balcony can only be accessed from inside.  As of 6:00 am, the burnt smell had not dissipated as much as we would have liked and the fans, room 471 and balcony doors were left open to continue the dispersal process.

We will continue to monitor the area, and do what we can to improve the indoor air quality.

For questions or concerns, please contact Linda Miller at 541-346-2316.
