Campus custodial cleaning due to recent smoke particulate 9/25 – 9/27

Posted on by lpitts

Facilities Liaisons,

As a result of the recent smoke particulate event, Facilities Services will be cleaning all office and workspace horizontal surfaces in all general funded buildings this coming weekend, September 25-27.  Crews will follow UO Safety & Risk Services recommended safety guidelines requiring wet mops/wipes and HEPA equipped vacuums to be used in all cases. Cleaning guidelines prohibit dust spreading devices such as dry dusters, brooms, or non-HEPA equipped vacuums.

Providing safe and clean workspaces for our campus community is a priority. To provide this service most efficiently and effectively requires a well-orchestrated and highly coordinated 1,000-hour effort to be concluded by Sunday evening.

Occupants can aid in this effort by:

  • Removing items from horizontal surfaces needing cleaned. To reduce the chance of damage/loss, Facilities crews will not move or clean individual items.  Surfaces not cleared will not be cleaned.
  • Requesting a space NOT BE CLEANED by placing a note on the door clearly stating you would like that space skipped.

All requests received after this campus-wide effort is complete will require an index and need to be scheduled.  Please contact CPFM Work Control Center with questions or concerns.

Campus Ventilation Filter Replacement Project

Posted on by lpitts

As a result of the recent smoke particulate event, Facilities Services is preparing to move forward with a blanket HVAC filter replacement as well as the removal of ash from our intake and coil assemblies across the E&G campus.   We will follow our standard notification protocols as we do when outages are required for routine preventive maintenance activities. The Work Control Center will communicate with each building (time and duration of each outage) before the work is done.

With Fall term starting in less than two weeks, Facilities Services is evaluating our human resource availability to determine options to reduce the duration of this effort.    We hope to complete this project in 6-8 weeks.

Data:

  • 80 E&G buildings having HVAC systems
  • 435 air handling units (AHU)
  • 4,200 filters and clips

Regardless of the available resources, all facilities cannot be completed at the same time.  Facilities Services will prioritize this effort as follows:

  1. Systems experiencing filter alarms or failed filters
  2. Childcare/animal Facilities
  3. Science Facilities
  4. Buildings scheduled to be OPEN
  5. All others

Individual buildings may fall into any or all of these categories.
