Construction Update: Building 1700 Closure at 3:30pm Today, 10/30

This morning, an issue related to our campus construction projects caused the gas line sensor feeding into Building 1700 to trip, resulting in a temporary loss of heat. The issue has been addressed, and gas is now safely running through the building. Classes and work will continue as normal through this afternoon. 

The gas line will need to be shut off later today in order to make repairs, which means the building will be too cold for evening classes.  Please check Canvas for updated classroom assignments.   While there is no danger to students at this time, we will be relocating all evening classes scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. in Building 1700 to alternate areas. Building 1700 will close at 3:30 pm today. Employees who work in Building 1700 may complete their workday remotely after 3:30 p.m. today.

Please note that as a result, the roadway around Building 1700 will be completely closed today while repairs are underway. During this closure, the only access to Building 1800 will be via the walk ramp on the west side of the building, adjacent to the Building 1900/2000 roundabout. 

Updates will be provided as made available. 

Campus Updates 10/30/2025

Early Happy Halloween folks.  Hope all are doing well.  I know of a couple really cool Halloween events going on that you may want to check out, including The Cursed Library from 3-6 PM on Thursday. And look out for those super cute kiddos from the Parent Ed Center going all across campus on Friday morning! 

This week I have been pretty buried in the budget and related tasks to help prepare for the board meeting on Wednesday.  I also had the opportunity to meet with Community Colleges for International Development as I serve on the board.  We are working on the Strategic Plan and updating to align with current world conditions.  I also continue my professional development and met with two presidents in the region this week to get ideas.  I really urge folks to continually reach out to other colleges and learn what they are doing and what activities are leading to better outcomes.   

Other than that, I am looking forward to the Dia de los Muertos event and also want to wish the volleyball team good luck tonight! 

Cheers, 

Jack

STEAM/Bracken Construction Notice

Work began on Wednesday, 10/29, to widen the roadway between Building 1700 and Building 1800 (indicated by the red rectangle on the photo below). This work is expected to last through the end of next week, 11/7; though it is weather dependent as the last step is laying asphalt and adding striping (road paint).

It is the goal to keep at least half of the roadway (which is largely used as a walkway by staff and students) open the entire time, though there may be intermittent full closures of the roadway. During the full closures, the only access to Bldg. 1800 will be via the walk ramp on the west side of the building, adjacent to the Bldg. 1900/2000 roundabout (indicated by the small green rectangle on the photo below). 

Questions can be directed to the Director of Facilities and Capital Projects Kimberlee Clark kclark@shoreline.edu or Safety & Security safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu
