Stores changes counter hours effective immediately
Stores counter hours are changing from 7:30 am-4:30 pm. This change will allow Stores to have better coverage during the peak transaction times and reduce the number of times we have to change the counter hours.
After hours emergency access can still be provided by campus security at 2-2222. Please add this change as a crew talk topic for the crews you manage and ensure staff impacted by this change are able to plan their shift and get the items they require prior to the 4:30 pm closure.
Kudos to the team who worked on the Life Sciences Strobic motor and damper replacement
The repair of the stobic fan and the replacement of the damper was a project well-coordinated by Jeff Smith with the assistance from Greig Samodien. The labourers were terrific in clearing the LSC roof of debris and materials, setting up scaffolding, and helping the crane operators demobilize which saved the university $500 plus. The team of CAITs, electricians, millwrights, sheet metal workers, operating engineers, BMS engineers and refrigeration mechanics were exceptional in their efforts to make the project run smoothly.
This is a testament to the great work and effort, proficiency and skill of:
Labourers: Nick Kavouras and Jaspal Thiara
Millwrights: Mark Lindsay, Bryan Archibald, Brett Balmer, Raphael Sicilia
Electricians: Robert Stone, Brent Hannah and Kevin Wong
CAIT: Dimitri Kavouras
Operating Engineers: Lee McCormick, Ethan Zarb, Will Godbout and Mikhail Cañete
BMS Engineers: Tino Moscato and Joel Decolongon
Sheet Metal Workers: Dan Defend, Sergio Ferino and Raymond Lum
UBC Campus known as target-rich environment in the property crime circle
A fresh new crop of Subjects have learned that UBC is a good place to shop for easily fenced goods, wallets, etc. Some of these are well-known to Campus Security from years gone by, but many of these are new to UBC.
Descriptions of some Subjects will be posted on the digital monitors. Keep an eye out for these Subjects or for anyone acting suspiciously and report immediately by calling the 24-hour dispatch number 604-822-2222.
Any crime in progress or imminent risk of injury to any person should be reported through 911. It is a great advantage to know the address you are reporting an incident about when speaking to a Police Dispatcher.
