F&S Construction and Maintenance Announcements
Current F&S Newsletter - April 2024
Upcoming:
Week of May 13 - UHB Hot Water Repairs: Repairs to the UHB hot water heating system are scheduled to begin the week of May 13. There will be no interruption to the domestic water system (drinking fountains, sinks, and toilets). However, during this time, you may notice ladders, tools, and equipment in the hallways and common areas, as well as the temporary removal of ceiling tiles to facilitate access to the piping system.
Rooftop Unit (RTU) Replacements: New rooftop units will be installed in the coming weeks at the Human Resources Building (HRB) and the WUIS building. Given the recent rains we have experienced, the ground has softened considerably, making it unsuitable for crane operations to move the units. Once the ground firms up, we will schedule the installation and send out a notification.
TRAC Gym Floor Refinish: F&S will oversee the sanding and refinishing of the gym floor at TRAC. A contractor is expected on site the week of April 29th to begin the project, with work continuing through May 31st. Parking availability in lots I South and/or North may be affected so please watch for directional signage.
In Progress:
S2 Card Reader Lock Upgrades
An effort to upgrade locks to newer and more effective card readers is in progress across campus. F&S is working in conjunction with ITS to accomplish this work.
What do you need to do to prepare for these changes? Make sure you have a more recent i-card that has proximity reader capability. If your card has a series of numbers next to the black stripe on the back, then it should work. However, if there are no numbers next to the stripe, then you have an older card that should be replaced. Sample images are below to show the card differences.
Visit the Springfield ID Center website for more information about i-cards and ID Center services.
