Hello all,

I hope everyone is staying well and keeping safe. I don't believe this will impact most of you, but wanted to mention it in case I am mistaken. Our air compressor/vacuum system contractor will be on campus tomorrow, May 21st starting at 8am, to make a few repairs on the system. Two repairs are able to be made with the system online, but one requires a brief shutdown of the equipment. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear faculty, staff, and researchers,

Following further guidance from the Governor and University to further reduce the presence of staff on campus, CLAS Facility Services will suspend this week's on-campus coverage schedule that I emailed last week. I know that this may cause some frustration and confusion, but we hope you understand that the current circumstances have led us to make this difficult decision. Managers will be working from home until further notice, please continue to email or phone them with any questions or concerns. Facilities Operations will be monitoring buildings systems.

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick heads up to let you all know the extra odorant added to the buildings main natural gas line has been isolated from the system. The extra odorant was added to the main line when the building was first built in order to saturate the new gas pipes. Natural gas to the building, provided by CNG, is infused with a standard amount of odorant. Please use the gas as you normally would, with time the excessive odorant smell will lessen and be more tolerable. We will be physically monitoring the gas on a weekly basis for

Dear ISG and CLAS Faculty and Staff,

As you may have heard, the University will begin issuing new ID cards to all faculty, staff, and students on July, 15th. These new cards are part of a larger initiative to update the campus-wide security infrastructure. Several departments within and outside of The College are working behind the scenes to minimize any possible access disruptions to this transition, however, it is very important that you not discard your current ID until you have confirmed that your new ID works on all the electronic locks you currently have access to.

Good afternoon,

The power has been restored to the building. We don't have all of the information on what caused the outage. At this time, the elevators are working alternately, Otis has been dispatched. The lab exhaust fans are currently offline, Facilities has been notified and are in the process of moving through the science area to reset tripped building systems. With the lab exhaust fans down the pressure in the building is off so doors in the stairwells will be difficult to open and fume hoods may be alarming. Once the fans have been reset the issues should correct
