F&S Construction and Maintenance Announcements
Water Shutoff - Brookens 1st Floor May 13-15
A critical plumbing repair will be performed this week on the first floor of Brookens - both classroom and library sides. Crews will be replacing a sewage pump, which requires shutting off water for the entire first floor. This will affect restrooms, sinks, and water fountains on the first floor only. The water service will continue normally, and facilities will be available on all other floors.
Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 13 and wrap up on Thursday, May 15.
Outdoor Painting
Spring has sprung so outdoor work has begun!
In the coming weeks, the painters will be freshening up some striping in the parking lots and the pedestrian crosswalks across the campus. Please use caution when driving in areas where painting is being done.
