For the rest of this week and next, there will be some paint and concrete odor in the area around the Bracken building. Bayley will be painting handrails and pouring concrete for walk paths.
Please reach out to the Director of Facilities, Kimberlee Clark (kclark@shoreline.edu), if you have any questions.
We were notified this afternoon by Bayley (Bracken building contractor) of work that will begin across the NE end of campus on, Wednesday 11/19, at 5:00am. The work is expected to be completed by 8:00am, Friday, 11/21.
The work will impact parking stalls by buildings 2300, 2900, and 6000 and there will be a one lane closure east of building 2900, traffic control will be in place during the lane closure.
Forma will need to conduct another power shutdown as part of the Greenhouse project. This power shutdown will impact building 6000 on Friday, 11/21, from 5am to 7am. This will affect most of the 1st floor power and lighting. The fire alarm system will be put into test mode. This shutdown will not impact classes and will have little impact to the freezers/fridges in the building. Maintenance will be onsite to assist Forma.
Bayley will be shutting down power to the following buildings as part of the ongoing work for the Bracken building. These buildings will be shut down on Saturday, 11/1, starting at 2:30pm through Sunday, 11/2, until 7pm:
1800
1900
2000
2100
2300
No electrical or heat will be available during these dates/times.
If you believe this planned shutdown will impact your schoolwork or other academic activities, please contact your instructor.
This morning, an issue related to our campus construction projects caused the gas line sensor feeding into Building 1700 to trip, resulting in a temporary loss of heat. The issue has been addressed, and gas is now safely running through the building. Classes and work will continue as normal through this afternoon.
The gas line will need to be shut off later today in order to make repairs, which means the building will be too cold for evening classes. Please check Canvas for updated classroom assignments. While there is no danger to students at this time, we will be relocating all evening classes scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. in Building 1700 to alternate areas. Building 1700 will close at 3:30 pm today.
Please note that as a result, the roadway around Building 1700 will be completely closed today while repairs are underway. During this closure, the only access to Building 1800 will be via the walk ramp on the west side of the building, adjacent to the Building 1900/2000 roundabout.
As part of the ongoing construction work for the Bracken building, power will be shut down to the following buildings on Sunday, 10/26, and Sunday, 11/2:
1800
1900
2000
2100
2300
No electrical or heat will be available from 7am to 7pm on those dates.
Students who believe this planned shutdown will impact their schoolwork or other academic activities should contact their instructor.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The project is on pause for an unknown period due to external factors outside the control of the college. The new sidewalk sections already in place will remain closed until full project completion.
The recently placed signs providing direction to the Visitor Lot will remain in place at least through the end of the month to aid new students.
Our annual campus fire alarm and suppression system testing will be conducted 9/8/25 – 9/12/25. During these times, you may see employees from Convergint and Columbia Fire around campus and may observe the momentary activation of strobes and horns during testing.
