Facilities Management

• T-Mobile is scheduled on May 11 to do antenna updates on the roof of Oren Gateway. Parking Lot H will be closed that day. A sign will be posted about the closure. Those who park in Lot H should park in any other surface lot. Any vehicles left in Lot H will be relocated to Lot L at the owner’s expense on that day. Contact Public Safety, 612-330-1717, with any questions related to the lot closure.
• Augsburg’s Day Student Government Environmental Action Committee is providing $25,000 to fund three Facilities projects. Work is starting to create a permeable path under the skyway between Lindell Library and Oren Gateway Center. The funds also will be used to install water bottle filling stations on the third through ninth floors of Urness Residence Hall. Funds also will be used for the LED lights that are a part of the remodeling of the Old Main second-floor classrooms. That project also includes new ceiling tiles, LED lights, HVAC diffusers, and carpeting and is tentatively scheduled for completion by May 31. 
• Students in the Graphic Systems class are completing painting a mural in the Old Main tunnels to welcome faculty and staff back to campus. The students brought the project to the Campus Design Committee of the University Council, and they approved the project because of the moment we’re in and that this particular class has the opportunity to do something special to welcome folks back as they return. See the mural in progress.

The students brought the project to the Campus Design Committee of the University Council, and they approved the project because of the moment we’re in where so many students, faculty, and staff miss campus, and the fact this particular class has the opportunity to do something special to welcome folks back. Students expect to complete painting this month. See their progress. 
• Find out about custodial practices and cleaning office spaces.

As faculty and staff return to Augsburg University offices, the Facilities Department wants to share information about our cleaning practices.

Custodians are focused on cleaning classrooms, common spaces, and bathrooms. As a reminder, they will clean office suites daily and individual offices one day a week once they are made aware that the space is in use again. If your trash needs to be emptied more than that, please empty it into a commonspace trash receptacle, such as those in hallways. 

A sanitization station is at most building entrances with gel hand sanitizer and foaming hand sanitizer. There also are disinfectant wipes to use in your office as well as in common and shared spaces after use. 

Please put in a custodial request to refill gel hand sanitizer in building dispensers if they’re empty as well as for more disinfectant wipes or for other custodial needs.
