Events and News
Hello all, hope you are well.
Last Saturday I was humbled to be invited to the 25th annual fundraiser for the United Seattle & Bellevue Korean School. It was packed with folks from the community. I was pleased to see some folks I knew and make some new colleagues as well. Our new program offering Korean was mentioned and received a really nice response from audience members. We still have some kinks to work out, but it’s so great to see a community that is so excited about the possibilities.
We had some pretty special events this last week on campus. A special thanks to Lisa Keating from the Washington State LGBTQ Commission for presenting to us. Her stories were inspirational, and we learned so much about the great work the Commission is doing. Thank you to all of the Board of Trustee members who joined as well.
Did you know we hosted 90 automotive dealerships from Oregon, Washington, and Alaska this past week? They will be sending full cohorts to us for technician training! We are ready!! Thank you to Lucas & Rashawn, Amber, Gary and the whole automotive program for inviting these folks to campus.
We also hosted Senator Murray on Wednesday for a private press event in the 1000 Building. She was here advocating for education with a particular focus on K-12. She always loves to connect to the city of Shoreline and of course SCC! You can read about her visit in the Seattle Times.
And as I write this we aren’t even done. Thanks to the great work of the WAVES center we have Representative Jayapal doing a “fireside” chat. I’m really looking forward to that and the nursing pinning later this afternoon!
Finally, I wanted to Congratulate to all the faculty who received tenure and moved forward in their tenure process. It was wonderful to celebrate that moment with you and I appreciate everything you do for our students.
Cheers,
Jack

Facilities and Capital Projects
Update 1: Roof Repair
Our recent roof project got off track due to the ice and the need to do more repairs to the roof at 2900 building. Due to these delays, the 2900 building is still in process and the timeline for 3000, 4000, and 1600 has shifted. Here is the new schedule starting next week.
- 3/21/25
2900 roof gravel replacement and perimeter work will be completed by Friday, 3/21. Contractor will be removing their equipment from that area. Parking in front of that building will be open starting Monday, 3/24.
- 3/24/25 – 4/1/25
3000 soffit stain work – Contractor will be using a lift and scaffold to apply a stain to the soffit around the building. They will start spraying on the south side starting Tuesday, 3/25. No vehicles can be parked in the motorcycle parking stalls on the north side and the parking stalls on the east side of 3000 when they start to apply the stain. Security will close off the parking in these areas starting Tuesday. Parking should be back open on Monday, 3/31.
- 3/24/25 – 4/4/25
4000 skylight replacement – Contractor will remove existing skylight and replace with new. There will be noise and chemical smells during this project. To minimize the impact of dust/sawdust falling within the library, a section inside the 2nd floor will be closed starting Monday, 3/24.
- 4/1/25/25 – 4/8/25
1600 PMMA and drain replacement – Contractor will be replacing the roof drainage system. This will require interior and exterior work. There will be slight noise and chemical smell.
Update 2: Bridge Repair
We will be starting our pedestrian bridge repair project at building 3000 next week. The purpose of this project is to reseal the top deck of the pedestrian bridge, resurface and fill in the cracks on the pedestrian ramp, and repair/seal the concrete underneath the pedestrian bridge. The project schedule will run from 3/24/25 to 6/5/25.
3/24/25-4/4/25 – Contractor will start with the top of pedestrian bridge. The bridge will be closed in sections to allow for access. The Contractor will also be closing the ramp at 3000 to resurface and fill in the cracks. SDS for the sealant will soon follow.
4/21/25 – 5/16/25 – Contractor will be working underneath the 3000 pedestrian bridge to seal/repair the concrete. There will be access to 3000 underneath the bridge.
Please refer to the 3/20/25 separate campus email to review the SDS sheets. If winds or other factors cause you to experience any discomfort, please don’t hesitate to contact your supervisor and HR to discuss assistance or accommodations. Please reach out to Facilities if there are other questions.
