ORIGINAL NOTICE:

While performing a preventative maintenance check on the building vacuum pumps (providing lab vacuum air), it was discovered that the vacuum pump on the roof of  Klamath Hall has failed.  There is a second basement vacuum pump that is still operating normally. EHS confirmed that the vacuum doesn’t affect the safety function of the fume hood but does impact other research equipment or processes that use the house vacuum instead of stand-alone vacuum pumps. Ken Straw hopes to have the vacuum pump operational as soon as possible.

For questions or concerns please contact Ken Straw at ext. 6-5406 or kstraw@uoregon.edu

Building Occupants,

To coordinate Pacific Hall outages related to the Pacific B-2 Renovation Design and Construction project managers Nick Pritchard and  Jen Miley have put together a timeline of events starting September 9, 2017, through December 18, 2017. These outages will vary from building wide to only impacting certain rooms. The purpose of this email is to provide an overview and reference.  Nick and Jen have been working closely with building users to document lab equipment and how this might impact departments and institutes. Going forward intentions are to provide this overview and continue to communicate building wide outages email notifications for anything that is impacting building wide services. For outages that are localized to individual rooms, the project managers will be communicating directly with occupants.

For questions or concerns related to this timeline please contact CPFM Design and Construction Project Managers  Nick Pritchard 541-346-9139 or Jen Miley 541-346-1530.
