Notes from University Facilities and Services (FCUFS) meeting听Meeting Oct 1st听
COVID and back to work planning
- UW Employees returning to on-campus work are encouraged to voluntarily enroll in the Seattle Flu Study.听 听听
- Daily attestation in Workday requirements remain in place.
- Covid testing site in ground floor of Odegaard library.听听
- UW Employee up-to-date Covid-19 information here:听/coronavirus/employees/
- EH&S is doing campus contact tracing with limited resources & is concerned a large outbreak could overwhelm capacity.
- HVAC systems across campus have been brought up to date on maintenance and air filters replaced – but not emphasizing because mask use and hand washing are primary protective activities – i.e. 鈥淕ood HVAC鈥� is no substitute for either, so not part of primary messaging.
- Heat may be turned off this winter in building that are 鈥渃losed鈥� – your building coordinator might be a good place to start if concerned听
Some Covid-related notes about Students returning to campus:
- Facilities related to students and COVID19: Opening day was really light.听 Residence hall have 10K capacity, but only 3500 have moved in,听 only 750 (of those 3500) have in-person classes.听听
- Prime student concerns include having a 鈥済ood place to study鈥� outside their residence. South campus center and the HUB ballroom are the two designated places to study and are husky-card controlled, masks required.听听
- UW Student life has no jurisdiction over greek system, where spread and mask use concerns continue. Fraternities/sororities are only subject to king county public health rules, not UW rules.
- UW Libraries are not open
