There are a lot of exciting changes happening at Evergreen to update and improve existing facilities on campus. In addition to working on those projects that are most visible to those on campus (listed below), the facilities services staff is working on various 'behind the scenes' projects that aim to improve the quality life for the Evergreen community and it's visitors.

Construction Projects:

• Library B elevator has been renovated to current code standards and the finishes have been upgraded.
• A new 1000 ton chiller has been installed in the Central Utility Plant and the 800 ton chiller is being repaired
• Lab I, Housing, and Central Utility Plant are getting new emergency generators.
• Lab I, first floor renovation of the laboratories has been completed.
• Library Phase II modernization of A-wing has started. The asbestos is being abated, demolition is occurring on all 4 floors, and the foundation for the shear wall has been poured in the basement. Substantial completion is expected by the end of November 2008.
• Longhouse expansion and renovation project is in the schematic design phase. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2009.
• The CAB modernization and expansion has finished the schematic design phase. The project expects to go out for bid in early 2009 with completion by the summer of 2010.

Space Planning and Management:

• The surge (temporary relocation of work spaces due to construction) of all Library A-wing occupants to other buildings in support of the renovation project has been completed.

Campus Sign Replacement Program: Damaged and tattered signs throughout campus continue to be replaced. New kiosk maps were posted and the ‘teaching garden’ signs will be installed around campus this Fall quarter. Exterior building name signs will also be refurbished this biennium, this part of the project may begin this Fall quarter.
Project Manager: Bob Worley

Small Repair and Improvements Projects: The Space Management Committee will prioritize and authorize project requests received for fiscal years 2007-2009 from the different divisions on campus. The designated contact for each area will provide the requestor with a status on their project request. Construction schedule for authorized projects will be coordinated with the requestor.
