Tim Winder, Rosalee Clanton, Justin Grishkin, Sharon Ginn, Kyle Wilson, as well as Kyle Harshbarger (not pictured), attended the APPA conference in Rhode Island a couple weeks ago. The APPA Conference was composed of four core areas covering general administration & management, maintenance & operations, energy & utilities, and planning, design & construction. Each member selected a core area to focus on during the week and took courses targeted to their chosen focus.

Thank you to Maintenance Support, Carpentry, Electrical, and FASS IT for a great job with the remodel of this room in Esslinger!

Two amendments to the Campus Plan were approved by the President in July 2022. These two amendments are typical of routine work that is done to keep the Campus Plan up to date, and there are no current projects proposed for the areas.

Related to the Framework Vision Project and the Southeast Campus Design Area

The purpose of the first of these amendments is to integrate Framework Vision Project recommendations into the Southeast Campus Design Area and incorporate changes from the recently completed Hayward Field. This amendment addresses finding #5 from the recently completed 2021-2023 Biennial Capacity Plan (BCP): “In the Southeast Campus Design Area, there is currently no available building footprint or GSF. Additional density needs to be assessed to accommodate potential future needs for academic, recreational, and athletic uses.” 

Related to the area southeast of the Franklin Circle Design Area

The purpose of the second of these amendments is to incorporate the university’s land southeast of the Franklin Circle Design Area into the Campus Plan to guide essential future campus development based on Campus Plan principles and to integrate Framework Vision Project recommendations. The amendment documents the existing development, bringing this area into the Campus Plan, which will help guide any future changes to the area. The Franklin Circle Design Area is now called the Franklin Triangle Design Area because of the additional land that was incorporated. Any exterior changes in the area are now subject to the Campus Plan.

A detailed description of all new requirements for development in the Southeast Campus and Franklin Triangle Design Areas is available at: https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/campus-plan-amendments-related-framework-vision-project-and-southeast-campus-design-area-and-area

These changes are incorporated into the updated 2022 Campus Plan, and available online at:  https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/campus-plan. For questions regarding these amendments, the 2022 Campus Plan, or to request a printed copy, please contact Liz Thorstenson, lizt@uoregon.edu.

The wait is almost over... nearly all of the 1600+ FS uniform clothing pieces have arrived.

They will be sorted and handed out to supervisors over this week and next.

Pablo,
Thank you so much for identifying the safety issue today at Baker Center with the ceiling panels that were dislodged and in immediate danger of dropping in areas where people were working. I appreciate your quick actions in making me aware of the imminent concern. I also appreciated that you were able to send pictures of the area. Your quick actions allowed me to contact the Owner’s Representative for the project who immediately went to correct the issue with the contractor doing the work.

Awesome job, thank you!
- Haily Griffith

Nick, I wanted to thank you and your weekend crew for all the work in Tykeson over the weekend. 
The classrooms look terrific, and the tripping hazards by instructor podiums are so much improved, and furniture is set throughout the building as discussed and on the plan provided. I know this took a lot of work and I am grateful. 
Please tell your crew well done!
- Amy Salmore
