Parking Lot Striping Project Begins Tues., August 25

parkingJust a heads up that, beginning Tues., August 24, we’ll be working on updating the striping in the parking lots campus-wide. This will be an ongoing project that we hope to have finished by Sept. 6 at the latest. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this project, and will try to keep the inconvenience to a minimum. However, as most lots will be affected at one time or another, on certain days it may be necessary to park in a lot that’s not your usual lot. Please pay attention to any posted signage and park accordingly. Thank you.

Please contact Safety and Security with any questions at (206) 546-4633 with any questions.

Reminder: Play it Cool in Hot Weather

With warm weather still in the forecast for the foreseeable future, here’s a friendly reminder to employees to take care by making a conscious effort to stay 
hydrated and by seeking out cooler areas of campus for breaks. Areas in the PUB and the lower level of the Library are recommended for breaks, without disrupting work or other activities in those areas.

Employees who work in areas of campus without air conditioning can, when feasible and with supervisor permission, temporarily move to a cooler place to work on campus during hotter temperatures. TSS has arranged for computer workstations in Room 4106 to be available to employees looking for a cooler place to work. TSS has additional stations identified. Please contact Ellen at x6936 for additional information about these stations.

Stay safe and comfortable!
