Bayley Construction will be temporarily moving the fence line for the Bracken project to accommodate the crane. The accessibility path to 6000 will be shifted to the ramp and walk path on the west side of 2900. The map below outlines the new fence line and accessibility path. Please reach out if there are any questions.
Thank you for your patience during construction.

As part of the construction schedule for the Bracken building (STEAM), the contractor will need to prep the site by removing some trees. Starting Friday, 6/7, we’ll have the project arborist onsite to assess the trees for this project. Bayley, the contractor, will start removal and protection of trees next week (6/10). There will be large equipment and loud noise on the northwest side of campus during this time. Below is a map that indicates which trees will be removed, what trees will be protected, and how many trees we will be adding back upon completion. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
I am writing to inform you that the lounge furniture on the main floor of the PUB will be removed for reupholstering and repair starting Monday May 27, 2024. This exciting update is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the comfort and aesthetic of our shared spaces. We expect the furniture to be returned right before commencement, looking better than ever! We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but will be putting a couple of temporary tables and chairs there in the interim.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this period. We are confident that the updated furniture will greatly enhance the student experience.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
We are getting close to starting our STEAM (Bracken) building project. Bayley, our contractor, has provided a schedule for the next few months. A few tasks to highlight will be the construction of a new ramp from 2300, Abatement of 2200, Demoing of 2200, and tree removal around the new STEAM site.
Each of these tasks will result in noisy work and dust. Below is the fence plan which highlights where they will place their construction fencing around campus. As part of the fencing, Bayley will be constructing a new ramp on the west side of 1800 for access to 1800 building from the west parking lots.

Also below is the logistics plan which indicates where the construction trailers will be placed, what parking areas will be fenced off for use by the contractor, where flaggers will be placed, and how trucks will move around campus and access the construction zone.
The fire lane in between 1800 and 1700 buildings will be used as a pass through for the construction site. This fire lane will remain open for pedestrian use and access to the accessibility parking on the west side of the 4000 building.
More information to follow as the project team and Bayley start our weekly construction meetings, and more information is provided. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Please see some important updates from Facilities below. These updates are for work being done between 4/23-4/30. Please read carefully.
Water Shutdown Tomorrow 4/23 in Building 2900 from 6:30-8:30am
The water to 2900 will be shutdown on 4/23 from 6:30am to 8:30am. This is to finalize punch list items for the Cedar building.
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.
Roofing Projects- Lift Onsite 4/30/24
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.
