Begin: Effective immediately – Tuesday, September 8th, 2020
End: To Be Determined
Building or Area Impacted: All UO Campus Buildings
Scope: Smoke odor in buildings. Stakeholders from CPFM Facilities Services, Design & Construction and Environmental Health & Safety met last evening to discuss the rapid decline of air quality in the Willamette Valley and the affect this change has on our campus facilities and the community they house. Many of our facilities are required by code to maximize outside air intake (i.e. many of the science/research facilities, University Health, etc.) and we have aligned with COVID-19 recommendations from the CDC and the OHA (Oregon Health Authority) to maximized the amount of outside air in all campus building with HVAC systems that allow such adjustments. Due to these requirements campus air handling/HVAC systems will not be adjusted at this time.
Services Impacted: Buildings will experience nuisance odors.
