1/20/23 Lewis Integrative Science Building Leak – User Update

Posted on by jepeters

In the early hours of January 19, 2023, a water leak occurred within the water softener system in LISB room 307B. The leak impacted several spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. Thanks to the quick work of CPFM staff, the impacts were contained and limited to some cabinetry, carpet, ceiling tiles, and/or gypsum board wall finishes in the rooms listed below.

201, 204, 206, 206A, 206B, 207, 207D, 303C, 304, 307, 307A, and 307B.

The University has retained a mitigation contractor, Belfor, to provide mitigation services for all of the affected spaces. Our current mitigation strategy will be to dry out finishes in place, with minimal demolition. This will include the use of dehumidification equipment and large fans strategically placed throughout affected areas. The equipment will generate heat and a significant amount of noise. EHS will oversee the dry out phase of the mitigation. Once mitigation has been completed, the space will be reassembled by CPFM staff. Belfor will be setting up mitigation equipment in the affected spaces this afternoon (January 20, 2023) to run over the weekend. Dry out status will be re-evaluated on Monday (January 23, 2023).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the mitigation phase of this incident. If any non-building related items were damaged as a result of this incident, contact Risk Management at 541-346-8316.

1/19/23 East 13th Developments and Safety Plan

Posted on by jude

A traffic control plan has been approved and will be implemented in phases. The fence line has already been moved back to the north curb, allowing west bound bicycle traffic.

 

By the end of this week (1/20/23), the city plans to install water filled barriers on the portion of the street that currently has the dashed bike lane lines. This will create a protected bike/ped area on the north side of the street. This is intended to function as shared use path with both bikes and peds traveling both directions

 

On the south side of the street, the existing back-in parking will be removed to create an eastbound vehicle lane allowing LTD buses and other vehicles through. There will initially be a parallel parking area on the far south side of the street. This will convert to a pedestrian path when the Taylor’s redevelopment takes over the sidewalk on the south side.
