Miscellaneous NewsJanuary 28, 2002 UpdateSEISMIC UPGRADE TO FOCUS ON CRITICAL AREAS.This month the board approved $76,000 for the most critically needed seismic upgrades on the main campus. The improvements include repair of a girder support at the northwest corner of Building 2; adding additional support to the southeast terrace stairway; reinforcing beam channels at the Forum's south entrance; stabilizing the library stacks; repairing and upgrading the terrace beam at the Forum; and bracing light fixtures on the first, second, and third floors of the Center. In reality, LCC is located in one of the safest places in Lane County as far as seismic activity goes. Geologic reports indicate there are no active surface faults within thirty miles of the campus and underlying rock is not subject to foundation bearing failures such as liquefaction or slope instability. Nevertheless, because Lane was originally constructed in the 60's, long before current FEMA codes, areas of the campus not included in the current upgrade will be addressed in order of importance, as funds are available. APPROVAL NEEDED TO ENTER BOND CONSTRUCTION SITES. Human beings are curious creatures, and it can be tempting to take a quick peak at construction progress by entering a site. However, remember that bond construction sites are closed at all times to any individual who is not directly involved in construction activities or part of the Bond Project Management Team. Buildings under construction are the property of the general contractor until officially turned over to Lane. Entering construction sites, even after workers are gone for the day, poses particular liability issues. Foremost, the bond office does not want anyone injured on a site. Additionally, well meaning LCC personnel can inadvertently walk on concrete that is not completely set up or brush against painted walls that are not completely dry. Occurrences such as these can cause extra work for the contractor with ultimate financial responsibility for such setbacks possibly directed to the bond office. Therefore, please contact the bond office and arrange for a tour if you would like to see how a project is progressing. Questions and comments about any bond construction activity may be directed to 463-5727 or e-mailed to bond@lanecc.edu. All communication received will be regularly reviewed by the Bond Project Management Team (BPMT), the architects, and the Facilities Management Committee. | |
