We are pleased to announce the start of a campus-wide lighting replacement project. Over the coming weeks, electricians will be working throughout campus to replace existing light fixtures with new, energy-efficient LED fixtures. This project is part of our ongoing commitment to improving our facilities, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing the overall campus environment. Our contractors will be moving through buildings and individual spaces in phases. While some temporary noise and minor disruptions are unavoidable, we will make every effort to minimize the impact on daily campus operations. To help reduce disruptions, work inside individual offices will be scheduled whenever possible on Mondays and Fridays, when many employees work remotely. Our goal is to complete work in occupied spaces as quickly and efficiently as possible while maintaining access to offices whenever feasible. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this important campus improvement project. If electricians need temporary access to your office or workspace, they will work to minimize the time required. Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these energy-efficient upgrades to our campus.

As we prepare to sell our Upper Campus, we’ve learned that two underground fuel storage tanks near Bockman Hall need to be removed. This is both good environmental practice and necessary for a successful sale. Here’s what to expect:
– Work begins late August. It will take up to 2 weeks to remove the tanks. Soil testing will follow and results are expected within 4 weeks.
– Bockman Hall’s accessible entrance will be closed during the tank removal.
– Parking in the Bockman lot will be limited.
– As of right now, we expect the sidewalk between Gullixson Hall and OCC to remain open during the project.
– We are mindful of the upcoming Fall RFS (September 19–25) and anticipate that the project will be completed by this time. If work is ongoing, we will seek to minimize any disruptions to events on campus.
We’ll share the exact start date for the fuel tank removal once the work is scheduled. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this necessary project. Questions can be directed to Chris Jacobsen or Heidi Droegemueller.
