Inspections for July
Inspections are on the calendar in July for elevators and fire alarm systems.
Campus-wide elevator inspections are scheduled for the week of July 1. Individual elevators will be taken out of service briefly during the inspection process. Please be mindful of posted signs as they will indicate when an elevator is temporarily unavailable. Any schedule changes will be shared with the campus community.
Fire alarm inspections are tentatively scheduled for the week of July 8. A firm schedule will be shared once it is available. Watch Campus Announcements, Orbit, and the F&S webpage for updates.
Preparations for International Student Services Move to UHB
The remodeling work in UHB 1006 for the new International Student Services (ISS) office suite is progressing well. New walls have been constructed and the installation of insulation is nearly complete. The wiring and HVAC ductwork are also well underway. Stay tuned for more updates!
New Plantings at Brookens
Landscaping improvements have been made across campus this spring. A notable addition is the native wildflower bed between Brookens Library and the Health and Sciences building. This garden will beautify the space and play a crucial role in preserving our native flora and fauna. A variety of plants indigenous to our area will support local wildlife and promote diversity.
Matrix Gardens
The Matrix Gardens between Brookens and PAC are a well-established native plant and grass area. Stop by and enjoy the colorful display along with the variety of pollinators, from bees to butterflies.
