Notifications and Emergencies

Notifications

HS Building Management provides notifications to building occupants in Health Sciences facilities (MHSC, HSEB, SCC, ARCF, and Foege). These include utility shutdowns, construction updates, and exterior activities in the immediate vicinity.

If you are not currently receiving building notifications, contact HS Building Management at hsbuild@uw.edu. Include your wing location(s)/department in the email so we can sign you up for the correct listservs.

If you have questions or concerns about the effects/timing of a scheduled shutdown: contact UW Facilities Health Sciences Maintenance Zone at kenmcm@uw.edu or 206-543-4962.

Be sure to reference the six digit work request number in your message.
