Campus Community,

The Willamette Hall Process Cooling Project is addressing water quality issues with the system and equipment located in Willamette Hall.  A component of the secondary heat exchanger skid has been identified as negatively impacting water quality, and is scheduled for replacement beginning Tuesday, April 16th, and continuing through Friday, April 19th.

In addition, a new water filtering system will be installed to maintain water quality.  This work is being performed on the secondary heat-exchanger skid, which has been taken out of service, and will be isolated from the main system.  This work will not impact system operations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Design and Construction Project Manager Jeff Madsen at 541-346-2256/541-505-4850.

Update – this was changed to 4/18 7am – 2pm to accommodate a conference.

Campus Community,

On Friday, April 19th, the courtyard of Straub Hall will be pressure-washed as a part of its yearly maintenance cycle.

Contact Work Control 346-2319 to report areas or buildings of special concern.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Campus Community,

The cardboard service hauler is experiencing mechanical issues this week, and as a result, the campus is experiencing service interruptions.

As the hauler works to address these interruptions, campus users can help minimize the impacts by:

• Remove all packing material and sort appropriately
• Flatten all corrugated cardboard boxes before placing in the collection dumpsters
• Contact Work Control 346-2319 to report any overflowing cardboard dumpsters

A second communication will be sent when regular cardboard service resumes.

Campus Community,

In conjunction with the work being done at Bldg. 130 CPFM Warehouse restroom remodel, Delta Sand & Gravel is performing excavation in the breezeway today (1/29) which extends several feet into the asphalt roadway behind the building on the north side (see attached map). This necessitates the use of a back-hoe and dump trailer, which take up a good deal of the roadway and make it difficult to pass. Please use an alternate route to access the Mobile Equipment shop, gas pumps, and “north 40” area. This work should be concluded by 1:00p today (1/29). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Design & Construction Project Manager, Tim Allenbaugh at 541-346-8214.

As part of the ongoing CPFM restroom remodel in Bldg. 130, on Friday, February 2nd, the HVAC system for the building will be shut down from 8:00a-3:30p.

As part of the ongoing restroom renovation project, on Thursday, February 7th, from 8:00a-4:00p, the main domestic water line into the Building 130 CPFM Warehouse will be shut down in order to install new water lines under the concrete slab in the breezeway (H109 on the Campus Map, indicated in the red rectangle). This will affect all water in the building, including toilets, sinks, and hoses. Temporary commercial water coolers have been provided in the breezeway breakroom (indicated in the green rectangles) room and the Design & Construction kitchenette on the 2nd floor. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Design & Construction Project Manager Tim Allenbaugh at 541-346-8214.

Beginning Wednesday, January 23 at 7:30a and continuing through Friday, January 25 at 5:00p, a contractor will be cutting concrete out in the CPFM Warehouse breezeway (H109 on the Campus map) to allow for the installation of new underfloor plumbing. They will be using electric wet saws, rather than combustion saws, to reduce fumes. This activity will be rather noisy. Foam ear plugs will be available in the Design and Construction Kitchenette area, for anyone that needs them.

In addition, we will be ordering a water cooler service for fresh drinking water as plumbing gets shut off and rerouted during the course of the project. One cooler will be located in the breezeway break room, and another in the Design and Construction kitchenette (see red box on 2nd floor CPFM map). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Design & Construction Project Manager, Tim Allenbaugh at 541-346-8214.

Beginning Monday, January 14, and continuing through April 23, Facilities Services will be remodeling the restrooms in the ‘breezeway’ of the CPFM Warehouse (H109 on the Campus map). The restrooms will be off-line for the duration of the project. Temporary porta-potties will be provided on the east side of the building outside the main entrance to Design & Construction, between the Warehouse and the CPFM Admin Bldg 136 (see green area on attached satellite map).

The majority of the breezeway, from the rollup door on the north side to the stairs on the southwest wall (S201 on the Campus map), will be within the perimeter of the dust containment and safety barricade system. The breakroom, vending machines, and key-boxes will remain accessible for the duration of the project (See attached interior map, green indicates safe passage area, red indicates construction project area). A dumpster will also be placed outside the rollup door and will impact parking the immediate vicinity (see yellow area on the attached satellite map).

Users should expect typical construction noises and disruptions throughout the project. Notices of specific project updates and utility shutdowns will follow. They will include temporary interruptions of water and power to the building for limited duration.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Design & Construction Project Manager, Tim Allenbaugh, at 541-346-8214
