A water intrusion has been identified in Willamette Hall. It is currently known to be affecting rooms H160, 160, & 161.
This intrusion occurred on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 and was the result of a clogged drain in room 156. Impacts to walls and carpets were noted in rooms 160, 161, and H160.
The mitigation process is tasked with drying all affected materials with the ultimate goal of limiting demolition and preventing mold growth. The mitigation process is managed by Environmental Health & Safety. Mitigation efforts onsite will be conducted by CPFM. During this period, you will see fans and well dryers set up, as well as dehumidification equipment. It is important that this equipment is left running at all times to ensure that impacted building materials are dried appropriately and in a timely fashion. Mitigation is anticipated to be complete by early next week.
The reconstruction process is tasked with returning the space to finished and operational status. The reconstruction process is managed by CPFM.
Both mitigation and reconstruction are conducted by University staff whenever possible to save money and reduce complications associated with the work. Outside contractors are used when mitigation or reconstruction scopes exceed our available staff or equipment resources. Further information on the University’s Water Intrusion process can be found by contacting Adam Jones at asjones@uoregon.edu.
Individual departments are responsible for inventorying damaged non-building related items, such as computers, office furnishings, lab equipment, etc. The Office of Risk Management within Safety & Risk Services is available to provide guidance, inventory forms, and other information on the insurance process associated with these claims. This information can be found at https://safety.uoregon.edu/property-claims.
