Posted on by jepeters

UO’s winter quiet period, between December 25 and January 1 holidays, is almost here! Many on-campus services will be reduced. Please take a moment to review previous news briefs about planning for building closures, winter break locking schedule, and taking extra safety and security precautions.  If an area you work in or are responsible for is planned to be unoccupied, please also review these “before you leave” reminders below for methods to ensure areas that will be unattended are left in a safe, secure, and environmentally sustainable manner.

  • Make sure windows and doors are closed and locked.  Close window coverings if applicable.
  • Turn down heating thermostats to “away mode” if locally controlled.
  • Turn off lights.
  • Turn off computers.
  • Unplug electrical appliances including but not limited to coffee pots, space heaters, holiday lights.
  • Eliminate pest attractants by disposing of all food and garbage.
  • In laboratories, ensure that fume hood sashes are fully closed and that plumbing fixtures (gas and water) have valves closed.

Thank you.

2023 – 2024 Campus Locking Areas for Holidays and Academic Breaks

Posted on by jepeters

The purpose of this email is to share details of the door lock procedure for observed holidays and academic breaks in 2023 – 2024. The procedure is designed to protect against theft and vandalism, while also providing access to specific public facing buildings on the UO’s campuses, as follows:

  • Most university building doors will be locked during observed holidays and academic breaks as defined below.
  • Some buildings with public facing services may not be subject to the locking schedule, especially during academic breaks. These building are listed in the procedure.
  • Faculty, staff, and student employees should already have either keys or prox card access to enter buildings during these times. Departments have authorized individuals who can request access for those who may need it.
  • Finance and Admin Shared Services IT (FASS IT) will send reminders out through the facility liaison list as a reminder prior to each of the door locking dates. Those reminders will include instructions for adding prox card access for those who may need it.
  • No changes will be made to individual access, so anyone with existing access will still be able to access their normal locations.

Authorized individuals may request exceptions to the locking procedure, by meeting specific criteria listed in the procedure. Requests for exceptions can be submitted to FASS IT by calling 541-346-2245 or by emailing fass@uoregon.edu, providing as much advance notice as possible and noting which exception criteria their situation meets. FASS-IT will consult with the Campus Vulnerability Assessment Team on approval of exemptions.

8/28/23 Klamath Hall Water Intrusion Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

On August 24, 2023, a water intrusion occurred in the Klamath Hall basement that resulted in water impacts in room B018, B020, B026, and the East hallway. The impacts were substantial enough to require mobilization of a restoration contractor to assist the University with drying out impacted finishes. We are confident that drying should be able to be accomplished with the vast majority of finishes undisturbed in approximately 7 days. In the meantime, users of Klamath Hall basement should expect to see equipment and containments in each of the spaces indicated above. The containments will help create a dry environment and speed the drying process. It is imperative that containments and equipment are left to run unimpeded in order to be successful and prevent larger scale demolition. Once the dry out is finished, repair and restoration will be transferred to CPFM. Please contact Adam Jones if you have questions.
