UPCOMING IMPACT NOTICE

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
* * Deans, Directors & Department Chairs: Please distribute to your department personnel * *

LOCATION: Vanport Building (VB)

DURATION: 4/13/2026 to 4/22/2026 from 7:00:00 AM to 4:00:00 PM

PROJECT INFORMATION: MacDonald Miller (our HVAC service provider) will be on-site from 4/13/26-4/17/26 and 4/20/26-4/22/26 to commence with freeze protection work on the building's Chiller (which is located on the roof). Work is expected to occur from 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., daily.

A single MacDonald Miller vehicle will be utilizing the loading dock during this time frame and they've been instructed to not block the trash room double-doors and to provide as much loading dock access as possible so both planned and unplanned deliveries can occur.

PROJECT BENEFITS: Once completed, this project will provide important freeze protection to the building's Chiller and help mitigate future repair needs.

IMPACT: While work is commencing, specific parts of the Chiller will be off-line for repair. However, the Chiller will still be operational and will provide heating and cooling needs to the building.

Intermittent light construction noise from the roof may be heard with the 7th floor mostly impacted. However, Chiller work has been done in the past with little to no impact to the building.

Management does not anticipate any odors to impact the building.

ACCESSIBILITY IMPACTS: There will be no right-of-way accessibility impacts and the loading dock will be available to accept both planned and unplanned deliveries during the duration of this work. Also, roof access will still be possible and existing roof walkways will not be blocked or impeded.
