CAMPUS GOING KEYLESS
Effective January, 2007, a schedule to change from keyed to keyless after-hours access to the exterior doors of main buildings on Edwardsville campus will be implemented. Approximately two buildings will be activated each month through the spring semester. Below is the activation schedule for Edwardsville campus buildings and the exterior doors planned for keyless access. The SIUE I.D. card is used to gain entrance by swiping the card through a hardware unit attached adjacent to the door. FM and OIT are working together to ensure a smooth transition for the SIUE community. In fact, the Science Building transitioned to exterior keyless after-hours access Spring 2004.

Keyless access for exterior doors will be granted to all employees currently issued exterior door keys. Key Control is coordinating keyless access implementation with departmental contacts that will assist employees with any required paperwork. Prior to keyless activation of a building, Key Control will request that department contacts collect exterior keys from employees. Employees who have questions or problems with access may contact Key Control at 650-3201/650-3200 or email jlesick@siue.edu or kmurphy@siue.edu.

Graduate or other students requiring after-hours building access because of assigned job or class duties require approval from the appropriate administrative dean or director. Student access is limited to one semester and requires renewal each semester. The approval form is available at www.siue.edu/FORMS.

It is recommended that employees who still have the original (red and white) SIUE I.D. card obtain the new I.D. card at no charge from the SIUE Service Center located in Rendleman Hall. If the magnetic stripe is worn on a new I.D. card, a reissued SIUE I.D. may be required to work with the swipe units.

DOOR PROJECT IN FOUNDERS AND ALUMNI HALLS
There are stacks of new doors through Founders and Alumni Halls. This week, many FM carpenters were busy installing as many of the doors in classrooms as possible. Once the students return to campus the week of January 7th, FM carpenters will shift to replacing office doors. We will try to complete the classroom door change-out during spring break. The crews are moving the old lock cylinder into the new doors, so there is no need to replace any keys when the new doors are installed.

ELECTRICAL RELAMPING PROGRAM BEGINS
A mass relamp of SIUE Edwardsville campus begins the week of January 7, 2007. FM electricians will be working the night shift from 11:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. changing out lights in classrooms, offices, and public areas. The first building scheduled is Alumni Hall, then Founders Hall, progressing through all core campus then to the outlying buildings. Each building relamp is estimated to take about 1-1/2 weeks. Concerns, suggestions, or problems should be directed to Customer Service, ext. 3711.

ADA PROJECT
Update January 5, 2007: The bids were received and are being reviewed by CDB. At this time, the bids are slightly above the budget, so CDB will determine if the contingency is sufficient to start the job with the higher base costs. Once again, we wait for CDB to move.
    
MASONRY RENOVATION
Update January 5, 2007: We thought that the contractor had just a few clean up issues, but we found that there are numerous areas to be cleaned. We have needs both on the building where the brick work has to be cleaned, and on the grounds, where debris has to be picked up and removed. We are considering some small additional work for the remaining project money, but are first finalizing all the costs to date to assure that some money is available.  The contractor has some small amounts of clean up remaining, and one small area of brick to infill. Then, this project will be complete and in the books as they say. 

MISCELLANEOUS GIR/MOD PROJECTS
Update January 5, 2007: A contract has been issued to a sheet metal contractor to build an exhaust hood, furnish and install ductwork from the hood to the roof, and install an exhaust fan. Once the hood is installed, the carpenters and plumbers will be installing the new cabinets, sink, and stainless steel counter tops. All of this work is occurring in the former vending machine area and the adjacent locker room. This area will be completed, and then the renovation work will begin in the older metalsmithing area.

DOOR REPLACEMENT
Update January 5th, 2006:The classroom doors have are being replaced in anticipation of students returning for the spring semester. Eventually, most doors along the main corridors and the atrium will be replaced along with the entry doors to the stairways. One major benefit is that the stair doors will have small glass panels to allow people to see if some one is on the other side of the door. Likewise, most classrooms and office entries will have a glass panel.  (See story above -"DOOR PROJECT IN FOUNDERS AND ALUMNI HALLS")


A REMINDER - NEW SYSTEM, A FEW CHANGES
Facilities Management is breaking in a new work order system, and the help of the Campus Community is needed.  When submitting a work order electronically, departments should note the routine number on the email request.  A routine number is assigned to the department's account number for the fiscal year. Departments requiring assistance should contact Work Order at ext. 3711.   When faxing a Service Requisition or completing a GIR/MOD form, please include both the FAS and the AIS account numbers.  FM is in process of changing billing from FAS to AIS and appreciates this assistance.
