As always, Cimmeron set up a successful booth at the street fair for the Office of Sustainability! Students were able to learn about ways to recycle, conserve resources, and sustainable practices on campus.

University of Oregon students, employees and community members can help improve campus safety by participating in the annual Night Safety Walk, Wednesday Nov. 8, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Members of CPFM plan to participate in the safety walk to hear concerns and act as a resource during the walk.

The Office of Sustainability will welcome the UO community to the Fall Sustainability Open House on Nov. 9 in the Erb Memorial Union. The event will run from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Swindells Room, 230.

This year’s  Fall Sustainability Open House will focus on transportation.

CPFM has finished installing 2 traffic mirrors at the entrance/exit to the garage. They did a nice job on the installation and alignment of the mirrors. The visibility of the alley from the garage has been greatly improved for looking in either direction. I am positive that this will make it safer to enter or exit the TUC garage. - C.J. Nelson, Business Affairs

Kudos to Nic Patton of the Plumbing Shop for solving a plumbing issue that has plagued the PLC 8th and 9th floors restroom toilets, for years these toilets have flushed poorly, Nic performed an investigative search on why this issue persisted time after time, year after year, Nic learned that a booster pumps pressure switch located in the ground floor mechanical room was improperly set at a too low of a setting, after making the adjustment to a higher pressure setting the toilets now flush like their supposed to..... Thank You Nic - Ron Warren, Plumber / Lead

Thank you to Donny Addison and Jeff Ziglinski for helping us recycle two storage rooms of office supplies and equipment. We appreciate your positive attitude and eagerness to help. We couldn’t have done it without you! -Michelle Cottrell, Human Resources
