Dear Campus Community,

The Seattle Metro Pickleball Association is holding their annual tournament “The Classic” at Shoreview Park again this year. The tournament is running July 19^th through July 23^rd. During this tournament, a section of the parking lot south of Building 2000 (see attached photo) will be cordoned off and reserved for overflow parking for tournament attendees. This notice is to serve both as a ‘heads up’ about the lot closure but also to let you know about this awesome event happening near campus. 

For questions, please email: safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu

Respectfully,

Your Department of Safety & Security

Dear Campus Community, 

As most of you know, our campus experienced a fire in the 2600 building, the morning of May 23, 2023.  This fire unfortunately rendered the building unusable, but the silver lining is that it was a building already slated for demolition this fall in order to make way for the new STEAM building.  You can read more about the fire here.

Facilities brought PBS (contractor for environmental surveyor) onsite to conduct 4 tests: soil, air, surface, and floor.

Soil Test: 

Initial testing of the soil came back with good results that did not indicate any further clean-up, which means that it won’t impede construction. 

Air Quality Assessment: 

Air quality was all measured in several ways and all of the results were below applicable occupational exposure limits. 

Surface Test:

PBS measured surface pH levels on representative materials salvaged from the fire in 2600. All sample locations tested between 5.0 – 7.0 on the pH indicator chart. This is an indication that no significant corrosive particulate residues had accumulated on the materials. 

Floor Test: 

PBS collected surface dust samples at representative locations throughout the interior of the 2600 building. Laboratory analysis identified low levels of asbestos on five (5) of the six (6) samples collected. Although there are no regulatory thresholds for the amount of asbestos in surface dust, researchers believe concentrations below 1,000 structures/cm2 (s/cm2) are unlikely to result in elevated exposures. Further testing is being conducted. 

Out of an abundance of caution, Building 2600 is being permanently shut down with no access to anything in the building going forward. No employees, students, or visitors are allowed inside. 

We’ve confirmed that the equipment that was removed previously has been surface tested with clear results and has all been cleaned. 

Thank you for your patience in this matter.  If you have any further questions, please contact:

Welcome to Summer Quarter! We hope it is going well so far. Here are some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.

Parking

The grace period for Summer Quarter 2023 extends until July 14^th which is this Friday. That means written warnings if you don’t have a parking permit, park in a staff lot, or improperly display your permit. We always issue citations with fines for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.). Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers). Part-Time employment requests can be sent in by department office. Full-Time employee permit requests must be verified by Dean, Director, etc.

Campus Security

We have a uniformed officer on campus and on-duty 24/7/365. Our personnel are trained and equipped to respond to a vast variety of calls that include, but are not limited to, basic first aid, medical emergencies, security emergencies, and calls for assistance.

To reach our team during business hours, call 206-546-4633, or visit the Safety & Security Office in the Foss Building, Room 5102.

After hours or if the office does not answer, the on-duty Campus Security Officer can be reached at 206-235-5860

Courtesy Services

Our department provides vehicle lockout assistance, vehicle jumpstarts, security escorts, and more!

Lost & Found

The official campus Lost & Found is located in the Safety & Security Office, Room 5102. We hold on to items for 3-6 months before disposing of them.

Tips 

With the current state of regional crime trends, here are a few tips that can help you in having a wonderful experience here at Shoreline:

• STOP! If you haven’t already, save the after-hours Campus Security number in your phone now! 206-235-5860.
• Park in high traffic and well-lit areas. Criminals don’t typically like having an audience while they work.
• Remove all valuables from your vehicle and remove items from view.
  • Even if a bag only has dirty gym clothes in it, a prowler may break in hoping it contains valuables.
• If you observe a suspicious person or vehicle on campus, call security.
• Always keep your phone and photo ID on your person in the event that you need to contact assistance.
• If you witness or observe concerning behavior or posts on social media, report it to Campus Security by calling the office or after hours number.
• PLEASE NOTE: Do not report injuries, criminal activity, or request immediate assistance via email, as email is only monitored sporadically during office hours. 
• Reminder, the campus is closed every Friday from July 14^th through September 1^st.
