Summary of Planned Contractor Activity at Cedar/6000 Building, Access Requests Next Week, 4/22 to 4/26
Forma has scheduled concrete on the following days within the construction zone. For Tuesday, 4/23, from 8am – 3pm, Forma will be patching asphalt at the NE corner of building 2300 and at the parking lot/concrete path connections on the West side of the building. There will be some odor from the new asphalt. The walking path to the SW door of 6000 will remain open. For Thursday, 4/25, from 3pm-5pm, concrete cure seal will be installed in Phase 2 site adjacent to building 2200. The sealant does give off an odor which is not hazardous to people walking outside by the construction fence at buildings 2300 and 2900. Please avoid the area around the construction zone.

We are in the process of gathering information to start a few roofing projects on campus. Our on-call Architect will have a lift brought onsite on Tuesday, 4/30, to conduct some exploratory work on the 3000-building soffit. The lift will be in place at 7am and should be removed by 1pm.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

This building was designed specifically to deliver cutting-edge instruction in biology, chemistry, phlebotomy, medical lab technology, biotechnology, biomanufacturing, advanced manufacturing, and mechatronics; providing Shoreline Community College students with unparalleled resources for a state-of-the-art learning experience. To learn more, we encourage you to view this short video.
The new building was named “Cedar” to honor the rich cultural heritage of the Indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Northwest. The naming process was initiated as a collaborative effort with various tribes, including representatives of the Tulalip and Muckleshoot tribes, with a focus on engaging in meaningful conversations and respecting tribal perspectives. The Cedar building is named after the prolific Western Red Cedar trees, x̌əpay̓ac in Southern Lushootseed, which are beloved by Pacific Northwest Tribal Nations.
Thank you to the donors who generously helped us build this building. Your support and generosity inspires us!

The elevators in Buildings 2900 and 4000 (The Library) are currently out of order. The Department of Safety & Security and Facilities are working to get them back into service as soon as possible, however there is currently no timeline for when this will be. If you have questions, please email safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu
Today we have two Facilities related updates for you.
The first is, on Saturday 3/16, we will be removing a pine tree on campus. The pine tree is on the south end of campus next to the employee parking area between building 1200 and Innis Arden Way. An arborist has assessed the tree and determined that it is a “high risk hazardous” tree and should be removed. The pine tree has compounding structural defects that will worsen and lead to full tree failure. The parking area adjacent to the tree will be sectioned off during the removal process. There will be no impact to Innis Arden way during the removal. At this time, we will not be planting a replacement tree in the same area. However, we will be working with Tree Campus to find a different location for a replacement tree.
For phase 2 of the Cedar building, Forma will be pouring concrete tomorrow, 3/13/24, from 10am to 1pm. Concrete trucks will be accessing the construction site from the fire lane between 1700 and 1800 to 4000. The pathways will remain open however there could be a 30-minute delay between concrete trucks entering and leaving the area. Also, the small stairway at the SW corner of 2900 will be closed to pedestrian access and will not reopen until 3/14/24. FORMA will set up pedestrian detour signage at both ends directing people around this area. Please see the map below. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Forma will be conducting some concrete work around 2900 and 4000 starting Monday, 1/8/24 through 5/9/24. A few paths near both 2900 and 4000 will be closed and repaved. The map below shows which areas will be closed. Signage will be placed to redirect foot traffic around the closed areas. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The contractor for the 9000 Gender Neutral Bathroom project will be shutting down all water to the 9000 building on Friday, 8/17, from 8am – 5pm. Currently the building is closed on Fridays during the summer. If you are onsite this Friday and reside in the 9000 building, please use the restrooms in the 1000 or 5000 building. My apologies for this inconvenience. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
We are well underway in remodeling the 2nd floor restrooms in the 9000 building. The contractor will need to shut down the water to the 3rd floor restrooms this Friday, 8/4, from 8am to 4pm. The only restrooms available in the 9000 building will be on the 1st floor. Please let Kim Clark know if you have any questions.
Our vendor had to reschedule their work to tomorrow. So, tomorrow, Friday 5/26, the Bldg. 2900 Parking Lot will need to be closed tomorrow for resurfacing as a part of the work being completed to improve campus accessibility. The parking lot and paved parking along the roadway will both be closed off to allow for the work and the large equipment. The college anticipates that the lot will be open by Tuesday, 5/30. We apologize for the late notice and will strive to ensure more advanced notice whenever possible.
Please contact Acting Director of Safety & Security Greg Cranson atgcranson@shoreline.eduif you have any questions.
We have a minor improvement project starting this week. This is an accessibility project for the 3000 building and 2900 parking lot. For this project, the contractor will be installing a ramp on the north side of the 3000 building to allow for accessibility access to the 1st floor of the 3000 building. The contractor will also be adjusting the slope for 2 accessibility parking stalls on the south side of the 2900 building parking lot. This project has been divided into two phases. The first phase will be the ramp which will generate noise on campus while they break up concrete. The NE stairwell for 3000 will have intermittent accessibility as they break up the concrete and replace. There will be access on the NW side of 3000 and access to the motorcycle parking on the north side of 3000. The second phase will include repaving the 2 accessibility stalls on south side of 2900. The purpose is to adjust the slope of the parking stalls and to provide a correctly sloped path from the parking stalls to the new ramp. There will be intermittent impacts to the 2900 parking lot. More communication will be sent once I receive the schedule and impacts to the 3000 and 2900.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
