  1. Evacuation diagrams are now required in all dormitories/student housing per NYS Fire Code. The diagram is required to show two evacuation routes and is to be posted on or immediately adjacent to each egress door from each sleeping unit. There are currently 1,438 residential rooms on campus, including the Theme Houses. Environmental Health and Safety is working with SLU GIS Dep’t and Facilities Operations on creating necessary diagrams. The deadline for this requirement is 8/31/18. By the end of the month everything should be digitized and the August deadline is looking good. 

 

  1. Marcus S. and Pat G. met with Becky Allen from SLC Public Health to discuss becoming a POD location again. They will work on an MOU and keep the committee advised.

 

  1. Park Street Lighting – has been approved in the second tranche of the capital process and we anticipate a summer of 2018 installation of new LED lighting and new poles.  The LED lighting and poles will mirror our proto-type which is located at the crosswalk near 53 Park Street.  The second phase of the project will consist of new stamped crosswalks and painting which will be contingent on approval within the capital process.  90% of bases have been poured and Augsbury Circle has two new poles already installed.  The majority of new lamp heads are up; 50% complete.

 

Future Meetings:

The meetings will be held in the Torrey Conference Room, located in the Diana Torrey Health and Counseling Center from 9am-10am, October 5, 2018.  Dates of future meetings will continue to be the first Friday of the month: 10/5/18, 11/2/18, 12/7/18, 1/4/19, 2/1/19, 3/1/19, 4/5/19 and 5/3/19.
