UPDATE 4/18/24:

Hello Campus Partners,

 Update on campus garbage service: late yesterday Facilities Services staff was able to pick up one of the repaired garbage trucks and put it into service this morning. Regular campus garbage service has resumed.

We, again, thank you for the understanding: please contact Kevin Farthing (541-359-6633, kfarthin@uoregon.edu) if you have any questions.

 Kevin Farthing
Associate Director
CFPM Facilities Services

Hello Campus Partners,

I wanted to reach out to you concerning a minor interruption in campus garbage pickup. Currently, both Facilities Services-owned trucks are experiencing mechanical issues that prevent them from picking up garbage. Both are currently being repaired by contractors in the area; however, we don’t have completion time for either. In order to mitigate the problem, we are picking up garbage in building dumpsters using our recycling vans. For today, we are concentrating on the residence halls and the EMU. We are also talking today with a third-party garbage hauler to temporarily service the campus while our trucks are being repaired. Be assured we are working to resume regular garbage service as soon as possible, and that we will let you know if there are any further developments, including the resumption of regular service.

We thank you for the understanding: please contact Kevin Farthing (541-359-6633, kfarthin@uoregon.edu) if you have any questions.

Facilities Liaisons:

The purpose of this email is to share details of the door lock procedure for the Spring academic break schedule for 2024. This 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 (including Spring Break 2024) as defined below.
• Some buildings with public facing services may not be subject to the locking schedule, especially during this academic break. These buildings are listed on the website in the Exceptions list. (Please note that Price Science Commons is also included in this list even though it is not listed on the Exceptions list Website.)

• 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 for the Break period.
• 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 regular individual access, so anyone with existing access will still be able to access their normal locations.

Please note that during the Spring Break period (i.e., closing time on Friday, March 22^nd until Monday, April 1^st at 7:00 A.M.) most buildings on campus will be closed and locked.

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(s) 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: carl.peaster@uopd.org
