Concrete replacement projects to close areas on campus

Starting June 22, areas throughout the UW-Eau Claire campus will be closed during concrete replacement projects.

The areas affected have been marked with orange and pink spray paint. Once new concrete has been placed, the areas will be blocked off with caution tape and barricades for five to seven days to allow for adequate cure time, said Chris Hessel, construction project coordinator with UW-Eau Claire facilities planning and management.

Saw cutting and preparation of the areas may take place a day or two before they are scheduled for concrete replacement, but the old concrete will remain in place for use until the replacement date, Hessel said. See a university news release containing a schedule indicating when specific areas of concrete will be replaced, weather permitting.

Facilities Planning and Management notice re: Air conditioning, windows, energy

University chillers are operational and programmed to run any time the outside air temperature reaches 67 degrees Fahrenheit. When the air conditioning is operating, indoor temperatures are set to cool to 76 degrees (state policy).

For those buildings that have operable windows, please keep them shut always. For the few who are next to an operable window, it is an enviable luxury to be able to open and shut it to meet one's personal comfort. Doing so, however, comes at the expense of everyone else in the building who is not next to a window. Our heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems are not perfect; however, the systems will be rendered less effective if windows are opened when the building's ventilating system is operating. If a window is open, air flows do not work as designed and others get less heated and air conditioned air.

Records management webcasts and information available online

The UW System Records Officers Council has created webcasts titled "Records Management Fundamentals," which describes the legal requirements and resources available to university employees for public record management, and "Business Communication," which describes the legal authority given to university employees for managing business communication.
