College community,

Good morning.  I would like to share with you information about another minor capital project that will soon be underway.

This project, which begins on November 14, 2022, and runs through April 2023, involves remodeling the restrooms on the first floor of the 9000 building.  These restrooms will not be accessible during the length of the project.  However, restrooms on the second and third floors will remain available.

Construction hours will be 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday.

If you have any questions, please contact our Director of Facilities and Capital Projects Kim Clark at kclark@shoreline.edu

Thank you.

Dear Shoreline Staff,

The College is aware that there is a smoke/burning smell coming from our roofing project.  Staff in FOSS are encouraged to work with their supervisor to:

1. Identify a secondary location and perhaps work from a laptop or other station in another building.
2. Move to a remote/home location and continue to work (through your normal workday). Please ensure that your online Zoom link options are open.

Our Shoreline Mechanical team is working with the roofing project company to mitigate these issues. We will flush the air system this evening as well.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you.

Phillip J. King, Ed.D.

Vice President for Student Learning, Equity, and Success

Dear Campus Community, 

We are gearing up for day two of Opening Week and are looking forward to seeing folks around campus! This is a follow-up email to yesterday’s roof repair email.  

As promised, the full report from PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. (this is the company that conducted the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) testing) can be accessed here.  The results of the onsite inspection indicated that, based on the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) readings in and around the building, the odor created by the adhesive is non-toxic.   

If you are experiencing a reaction to the odor, we are more than happy to explore alternative work options, including relocating to a different facility to ensure conducive and comfortable working conditions. Please reach out to HR to make a request.  

In addition to the odor, we understand that noise from the roof repair may become distracting and hard to work nearby. Please reach out to HR to request an alternative work area.  

If you have additional questions or concerns about this, we encourage you to reach out to the Facilities Department.
