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.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My email address is: cpeaster@uoregon.edu

Thank you!

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.

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.
