Demolition of Buildings 2500 and 2400 Begins this Week

Beginning Monday, September 27, the existing 2500 building and the North portion of the 2400 building will begin demolition activities to make room for new foundation and utility work for the HSAMCC Building.

These activities will last for the next 3-4 weeks and will occur Monday through Friday from approximately 7:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

There will be an increased volume of trucks exiting and leaving campus along with flaggers and signage to assist with traffic control. Noise from an excavator chipping away at the existing buildings is also expected. There will be dust controlling measures in place along with air monitors set up around the site to ensure no particulates leave the construction area. They plan to work the demolition from West to East of the existing buildings.

Please plan accordingly as it may take longer to navigate in and around campus.

Power Shutdown, Sept 24th

Dear Shoreline Staff,

As part of our preparation work for the new Health Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing Classroom Complex (HSAMCC), a power shutdown will be conducted on campus from noon on Friday, September 24 through 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 26. 

We need all staff to plan to work remotely on Friday, September 24th for the full day. Please access your work activities remotely as normal until noon. After 12 pm, the power will be off on campus, and you will need to access work via VPN when working at home. Please check with your supervisor for more information. 

For people who normally use Remote Desktop for HP, share drives, report server, Qnomy and must work Friday afternoon — as your work is critical in onboarding students using HP — we can accommodate setting up a limited number of new VPN setups.    Please contact TSS if you are in need of a new VPN setup.

Core campus networking services and online services will be unaffected. 

Services that will be unavailable during the shutdown include:

  • Remote access to employee desktop systems in the affected buildings 
  • You must switch to VPN
  • Student remote access to labs in the affected buildings 
  • Wi-Fi access in and near the affected buildings: 1800, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600 (generators will be provided for MLT refrigerators), 2700, 2900 (generator will be provided for Biology and Chemistry refrigerators and for the refrigerator on the lower level), 3000, and 5000.

The shutdown will not interfere with IT services and Canvas.  Campus vendors, including Avanti, have been notified of this activity as well. 

Please be sure to remove all personal food and beverage items from refrigerators in these buildings by September 23. 

If you have any technical difficulties, please contact TSS.

Employee Vaccination Verification Reminders from HR

Dear Colleagues,

As shared previously in messages to our campus community, all College employees (regardless of work modality) must complete the online attestation form regarding their vaccination status, as well provide proof of vaccination. As a reminder, employees who are requesting a medical or religious exemption must still complete the online attestation form as well as submit documentation to HR to begin an interactive dialogue regarding the exemption and accommodation process.

The attestation and proof of vaccination to Human Resources must be completed no later than October 18, 2021 or the employee’s first day back on campus, whichever occurs first.

The validation of vaccination documentation will be conducted one-on-one with a Human Resources staff member, either online or in-person.  Please be ready to show the following items:

  • Photo identification
  • Proof of vaccination*
    • CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Card or photo of the card; or
    • Documentation of vaccination from a health care provider or electronic health card; or
    • State immunization record; or
    • Employees vaccinated outside the U.S. may show a reasonable equivalent of these documents

Beginning this week, the following times are available (in-person or via Zoom, as noted) to briefly connect with Human Resources to show proof of vaccination.
