Campus cleaning

Good Afternoon,

Although there are no known cases of COVID-19 on our campus at this time, the Facilities department has implemented additional daily cleaning measures on high-touch areas across campus. Given the number of questions being received on this topic, I am sending responses to recent FAQs.

  1. What additional cleaning methods has the College implemented in response to recently confirmed regional cases of COVID-19?

The custodial team has implemented a daily schedule to disinfect campus tables, desks, restroom partition doors, hand and guard rails, and doorknobs/push plates.

  1. What can I do to help keep my area disinfected?

While the custodial team is focused on tables, desks, restrooms, doorknobs, and other high touch point locations across campus, individual employees should ensure they are disinfecting their work phones, keyboards, computers/printers, and other individual work items on a daily basis.

  1. Where can I get disinfectant or wipes to clean my personal work items?

Facilities has submitted a large order for additional hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and surface cleaners. There is a backlog of orders currently unfilled due to increased demands by the public for these products. While the College awaits the arrival of this order, paper towels can be used with hand sanitizer to clean work items.

  1. Where are sanitizer dispensers located on campus?

Current Locations: 9200 Main Dining Room and Serving Room, 9100 by South Door, 1600 Lobby, 5100 Facilities Office, 5200 Hallway near Front Door and Counseling Center, 5300 Hallway by Front Door, 2300 West and Eastside Entrances, 1721 Computer Lab, 4200 Main Entrance

New Locations (added as soon as supplies arrive): 3100 Hallway near Weight Room, 3200 Main Doors, 1000 Main Entrances, 1500 Hallway, 2900 Upper Annex, 4100 Entrances, 2000 Entrances, 800 Entrances, 9300 Hallway, 2100 Upper Hallway, 2800 Main Lobby

  1. Given that the majority of our custodial team works an afternoon/evening shift, what is being done to address disinfecting needs of high touch areas throughout the day?

In addition to the existing day shift custodian, additional staff will be re-assigned on a temporary basis to support ongoing disinfecting of high-touch areas throughout the day. This will redirect efforts not related to COVID 19 response, so there will be a noted decrease in vacuuming and other routine services.

  1. My area does not appear to have been cleaned within the last day. Who should I tell?

Please submit a work request online so that Facilities staff can be assigned to complete the missed area immediately.

If you have additional questions on the College’s COVID-19 response, please visit the Campus COVID-19/Coronavirus Webpage to review campus communications, resources and links to support. If you have Facilities questions in addition to those addressed above, please reach out to Sherri Walley at swalley@shoreline.edu or Jason Francois (jfrancois@shoreline.edu) at any time.

Thank you,
Jason Francois, MBA

Changes to campus shuttle service

Out of an abundance of care to minimize any risks related to coronavirus (COVID-19), the campus shuttle service will be modified as of March 5th as follows:
  • The interior of the vans will be wiped down with disinfectant after each round trip, each day that it is in service.
  • The shuttles will stop at the Sears Lot and Aurora Avenue every 30-45 minutes, rather than every 15 minutes, to allow time for the cleaning. The vans will also be cleaned after each grocery shuttle run.
  • To accommodate any additional parking needs, the Greenwood Parking Lot will be opened. Students who wish to park there will not need to purchase a parking pass through the end of the quarter.
  • As a reminder, if you are not feeling well or have any cold/flu symptoms, please do not ride the shuttle and consider staying home from class. Contact your instructors, who can help you continue your coursework remotely.

We understand this change may create some inconvenience and we apologize if this impacts your daily schedule. The health and well-being of our campus community is our priority. It is possible that should the risks around COVID-19 increase, the College may need to suspend the shuttle service temporarily at some point in the future.

Thank you for your understanding during this public health situation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Safety & Security.

Coffee Airpots now available for check out

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce a coffee brewing station, AirPot, is now available for check-out for employees who want to provide coffee/tea during on-campus meetings.

Purpose:
AirPots provide an affordable and convenient solution to small, on-campus meetings of approximately 15-20 people. We are researching coffee/tea solutions for larger events.

Cost: A 15-cup AirPot package is $9 for regular coffee and $10 for decaf ($19 if you want one of each). This includes cups, stirrers, creamer, and sugar. A tea package is $5.00 and includes 15 tea packets of various flavors.

Process:

1. Request an AirPot on 25-Live under the resources tab after searching “coffee.” (See screenshot below.)

2. Fill out a Meal and Light Refreshment (MLR) form for the event and get it signed and approved by Jenifer Fenske (Room 5201).

3. Take your MLR form to Pilar Corder (Room 1015) to pick up the AirPot the day of the event.

4. At the end of each month, Pilar Corder will complete an expense transfer form to transfer expenses to individual department budgets.

5. Clean the AirPot and return it to Pilar Corder. For events scheduled before 12pm, AirPots are due back the same day. For events scheduled after 12pm, AirPots must be returned by noon of the following business day.

If you have any further questions please reach out to Pilar Corder (pcorder@shoreline.edu). If you would like to schedule a 25-Live training, please contact Jenifer Aydelotte (jaydelotte@shoreline.edu).
