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. 

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.

All-Campus Fire Drill, Thursday, 10/2

We have an All-Campus Fire Drill this Thursday, October 2nd. During the drill, all students, staff, faculty, and visitors are required to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas (shown on map below). The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will assist at evacuation points and provide directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus.

The evacuation locations are designated by a white sign with red lettering reading “Emergency Evacuation Point” along the perimeter of campus (see photo below).

Emergency Evacuation Point sign.

Individuals evacuating buildings should proceed to the evacuation site closest to their location ( see map below, evacuation sites marked by “X”)

Campus map with evacuation sites marked.

Everyone must immediately evacuate, in a calm and controlled manner.

Do not attempt to re-enter buildings until authorized to do so by Campus Security personnel or a Building Marshal.

 We do our best to limit disruptions to campus operations and classes, but there is no one-size-fits all for perfect timing for emergency drills. If you have any questions (besides the exact time of the drill), please feel free to reach out.

Questions can be directed Safety & Security, safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu at any time.
