College community,

Beginning on Monday, October 24, work will begin on the remodel of the small gym and racquetball spaces in the 3000 building.  These areas will be combined into one large space to accommodate a new fitness center.  Demolition work will start on Monday and continue for about two weeks.  The entire project is expected to be completed by May 2023.

Additional Information on CRASE Trainings

Dear Colleagues and Campus Community,

Thank you for your responsiveness to yesterday’s post about the upcoming training, I have already numerous confirmations for attendance and several emails with questions or concerns. This training is provided by commissioned officers from the King County Sheriff’s Office in addition to their assigned responsibilities. Discussions have already begun with our partners at the King County Sheriff’s Office around the possibility of having an additional training seminar in early 2023 and seeing if it is feasible to provide it annually during the college’s opening week. We also have a request entered and if given permission, we will live stream and record the seminar and post the video to the Safety & Security website so that it can be accessed freely.

Please contact Acting Director of Safety & Security Greg Cranson via email at granson@shoreline.edu with any questions or comments.

Faculty and Staff Active Shooter Response Training – Presented by the King County Sheriff’s Office

Dear Colleagues,

On Wednesday, November 9th from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm in the Main Dining Room, members of the King County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a CRASE training seminar (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events). The training will speak to the history of these events, the trends that they have observed, speak about past events, and provide you with tips should you ever find yourself in one of these situations.

Please note, this topic is one that could elicit intense emotions due to the subject matter.

With space limited in the Main Dining Room, please RSVP by completing the Formstack linked below as soon as possible. Should this event fill up, I will work with the King County Sheriff’s Office to schedule another session sometime this spring.

FOSS, Roofing Smell

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
