Staff from Design & Construction had a team building event at Camp Putt and Roaring Rapids pizza! 

Staff joined in on many of the fun activities put on by the VPFA office for August's Everyday Inclusion! If you missed out on the opportunity to participate, make sure to keep an eye out for next year's activities! 

Wally Morris saw a reoccurring problem in Lillis, and took care of it, even though it was outside his duties. Thanks for helping to keep things looking their best! 

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Last week, amidst the sweltering heat and without any air conditioning (or any form of air circulation), a member of your CPFM team came to our rescue, transforming both our day and our week.

Our department head had been attempting to rectify this issue for several years. We were on the verge of purchasing a portable air conditioner, aware of the frequent issues at Esslinger. However, DAVEY stepped in, swiftly identified the problem, and installed a new thermostat, resolving the issue. His empathetic understanding of our predicament and his professional demeanor truly brightened our day by finally cooling our workspace.

He even came by again to ensure that the air conditioning was still functioning correctly! DeeDee and I, the only occupants currently in this office, are immensely grateful. Thank you for always providing such an amazing team!

Best regards, Melanie Frederick

Today I went to the fleet services shop to drop off a vehicle and they already had the other completed, so to not have us be short 2 vehicles. Steve, went ahead and dropped what he was doing and fixed the blinker. He also was willing to work around our schedule and let me bring it in after 2pm when it was convenient for us. I stood right there and waited. I was back on the road in less than 10 minutes. I feel like these guys have an immeasurable impact on everything we do here at CPFM. I just wanted everyone to know how fast and easy it was dealing with these guys.

Thanks, Wally Morris

I want to thank your team for such a timely response for helping us with our AMAG issues at HEDCO.  With the help of UOPD and Lisa (COE staff) we were able to get the building open on time this morning. Then, like magic, Ernie came along and fixed the problem. My point being, all hands were on deck to help support resolving the issue and I greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts. HEDCO AMAG is back online and functioning as designed. - Eric Owens

Please give my thanks and kudos to the team below for their exceptional work over the past few weeks. At the request of the Committee on Academic Infrastructure, two classroom renovations were identified for completion prior to Fall term; Collier 103 and Clinical Services 161. The schedules and budgets were very tight, but this team stepped up and delivered a beautiful result. These remodeled spaces will provide meaningful impact to the instructional quality and student experience for years to come.  The collaboration and teamwork exhibited was inspiring and much appreciated.

- If you didn’t have a chance to do the Everyday Inclusion Paint and Take bag activity, we can bring the bags and “supply wagon” to your team for a few days so you can host your own bag-decorating event (email dsharp@uoregon.edu to set that up). Check out some of the designs people came up with in August.

Please share your projects, campus news, photos, and kudos. You can email content for the newsletter to workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu.
