6/09/23 – 9/30/23 Streisinger Hall and Parking Lot 12B East Science Loop Project

Posted on by jepeters

2nd UPDATE 9/28/23:
It is expected that the tar odors may be noticed around Klamath Hall, and possibly Onyx Bridge, tomorrow.

 

UPDATE 9/28/23:
The East Science Loop civil contractor will be paving the parking lot on the north side of the Streisinger building (see picture for specifics), weather depending. This is scheduled for Friday, September 29th from 7:00 am to 12:0 noon.  During this work the adjacent areas will be experiencing heavy vehicle traffic as the work is being performed, and due to this spaces might be blocked temporarily. Additionally, some paving odors will be present during the work as well.

If this work does not take place due to weather, the notice will be updated with future times/dates to be aware of.

Thank you for your understanding.

The crane/closure dates have now been shifted, due to crane availability, to Friday, July 21st, and Wednesday, July 26th.  The third date is yet to be determined.

 

UPDATE to 6/30/23 Lab Waste Shutdown Entry (7/05/23):
After speaking with the building users regarding lab waste schedules, we are rescheduling the lab waste piping connection shutdown to Friday, July 7th, and Monday, July 10th.

 

UPDATE 7/05/23:
As part of vault deliveries for the East Loop Electrical project, the parking lot area shown will be closed and also the associated loading dock will be down for the duration of the crane work on Monday, July 17th Friday, July 21st, at 7:00 am through Tuesday, July 18th, until 6:00 pm.  Please take this into consideration for your activities, and reach out should this activity limit critical operations/needs.  This will be the first of 3 such closures, with the next potentially occurring 7/25 7/26 and 8/2 TBD. We will update this notice each time to ensure we are working around your needs as we are able.

UPDATE 6/30/23:
Due to work needed to move the East Loop electrical project forward, the lab waste piping will be shut down for up to a days’ time to make the necessary connections to improve the system. This will affect Streisinger, Klamath, and Onyx Bridge.  Be advised that during this time, all lab waste drains will be unable to be used (eg: sink drains).  We are intending to perform this work on Tuesday, July 11th, Friday, July 7th, and Monday, July 10th, from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm.    Please let us know if that day presents a conflict in regard to your operations.  If not, we will update this work as confirmed.

6/05/23 Onyx Bridge and Cascade Annex East Water Intrusion

Posted on by jepeters

In the early hours of June 5, 2023, a leak occurred from a water line in Onyx Bridge, Cold Room 485. The leak impacted several spaces on all floors of Onyx Bridge, and the southern portion of Cascade Annex East. Thanks to the quick work of CPFM staff, the building impacts were contained and limited to cabinetry, carpet, ceiling tiles, and/or wall finishes in the rooms listed below:

Onyx Bridge: 169, 170, H261, 265, 269, H361, 368, and 369.

Cascade Annex East: V150, 160, 160A, and 160B

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 where possible, 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. Belfor began setup of mitigation equipment in the affected spaces today (June 7, 2023) and dry out status will be re-evaluated later this week. Once mitigation has been completed, the spaces will be reassembled by CPFM staff as needed.

Starting tomorrow (June 8, 2023), BELFOR will demolish the impacted and failing ceiling tiles in Hallway H261 outside of Rooms 268/269. This work will be performed within a negative pressure enclosure, and the containment will be constructed such that half of the hallway will be passable at all times. This is anticipated to be completed by end of day.

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.

6/21/23 – 9/04/23 Campus Wide Lowered Custodial Services

Posted on by jepeters

I am alerting you to CPFM Facilities Services Custodial Department’s temporary adjustment to services provided to the academic buildings during the upcoming Summer Term. Last year we had the opportunity to partner with U of O Housing during the World Track Championships and provide custodial support to supplement Housing’s custodial staff during their busiest time of the year, which coincides with the least occupancy in the academic buildings. As a result of last year’s successful partnership, Housing is again going to utilize Facilities Services custodial staff during the summer. Because of this transfer of custodians, Facilities Services will be reducing some services in the academic buildings during the summer months.

In addition to supporting this year’s Commencement activities, starting June 21, 2023, all of the Custodial day shift, and part of the swing shift, will be working with Housing staff to prepare dorm rooms for the upcoming academic year and to support summer events. Custodial Services will continue to work with Housing until after the Labor Day holiday (September 4th), when they will resume full campus services to the academic campus and spend the remainder of the summer getting the academic buildings ready for the school year.

For the summer, you can expect the following reduction in custodial services in the academic buildings:

  • Offices will not be cleaned.
  • Classrooms that are not scheduled for use by the Registrar will not be cleaned.
  • Reduced restroom and common space cleaning in lower use buildings, though all restrooms will still be checked multiple times per week and cleaned if needed.
  • For buildings with regular classroom use, the only reduction that will be experienced is the temporary cessation of office cleaning.  All other services will remain the same as the academic school year.

Thank you in advance for your support in these efforts. Our custodians work very hard to keep the campus looking and feeling clean and safe for the campus community. They are proud of the work that they are doing to support the students, faculty, and staff.  We realize that there may be things that we have not considered with this service reduction.

Please let us know if there are any challenges or difficulties that we can help address to make things work better for each of you. We will continue to have some custodial staff during the day to support urgent needs that may come up.
