Projects

Roof Replacement

Weekly roof meetings continue.

  • The architect is putting together an estimate of cost.
  • Next step will be Rachel discussing the scope of this project with the architect and Campus Project Manager.
  • A “phased” approach to the roof is being considered. Rachel is continuing to emphasize how the roof replacement is interconnected with the cell towers project and the solar panels installation.

Offsite Storage

  • Working on finalizing the moving contract with Bertsch Moving & Storage.

Smaller Projects

  • Grad Commons: We are coordinating with Grad Commons staff for several furniture deliveries scheduled through 2/15/21
  • 3755: Academic Tech is working on upgrades to this meeting room this week.
  • SCARC Environmental Monitoring Systems: SCARC has put together a proposal for monitoring their environmental controls. Rachel is consulting with them to review the proposal and consider systems for their use.

Ongoing Building Operations

  • Lucinda was out on vacation Tuesday-Friday last week, so Rachel was onsite Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  • We are piloting of new key request process using an Asana form. Lucinda has been working on this for quite a while; if it goes well will likely use similar process for telecom.
  • Escorted EHS representative to inspect fire extinguishers in SCARC.
  • Press cabinets: one was moved into the press area; the other two are being sent to surplus. This takes care of the last fire code violation once they are removed.
  • Spacesaver will be onsite 2/10-11/21 for repairs to compact shelving on 1st floor and a full service for 3rd floor.
  • Rachel met with Kristi King about Little Villages processes related to COVID infections in Milne daycare.

Planning

  • Rachel is planning to update the Telecom Contacts list and the Library Emergency Contact Lists.
  • Rachel attended a webinar training for Library Operations and Planning related to COVID/Emergencies.
  • Restructuring the Safety Committee is in the works.
  • Rachel has begun to draft a document for Library Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP). This planning is used to determine how essential operations are performed during an emergency situation.
  • A task force has been set up to discuss directory/signage for the library in fall (SMS, LEAD, etc).
