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. 

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

10/22 – Police Training Exercise Nearby

On Wednesday, 10/22, law enforcement will be conducting an all-day training exercise at a nearby location. As a part of this training, the King County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, Guardian 2, will conduct flight operations in and around Shoreview Park.

The college hopes that this advanced notification will assist with reducing or limiting the concerns of those who may witness the flight operations. We would like to thank our partners at Shoreline Police and the King County Sheriff’s Office for reaching out and providing us with this information in advance.

Questions can be directed to Safety & Security by email at safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu at any time.

Mental Health First Aid Training

Free Mental Health First Aid Training Offered at Shoreline Community College!

Shoreline Community College Counseling Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for our campus community. MHFA is a research-supported international education program developed to teach adults how to recognize and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges. MHFA is a skills-based course that gives people the tools to assist someone who might be struggling with mental health or substance use challenges and connect them with appropriate support and resources. To date, 2.5 million people across the United States have been trained in MHFA.

Just as CPR helps those without clinical training assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action Plan that guides them through reaching out and offering appropriate support.

With support from the Counseling Center, this training (valued at $170.00/participant) is FREE to Shoreline Community College employees and students.

Training Details:

We are currently offering a blended training which includes:

  • 2-hour, self-paced online training prior to the in-person training and
  • 6.5 hour in-person training

This quarter’s in-person training is scheduled for: Monday, November 17th, 9:00am-3:30pm

The self-paced online training must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.  You must complete the online and in-person training to become a certified Mental Health First Aider. MHFA certification lasts for 3 years.
