Welcome Koue Vang
Information regarding Portable Village 3 Koue Vang, Margaret Lednicky
Three proposed layouts for Portable Village 3 (PV3) were shared. Existing number of classrooms considered is 46 (which is total lost in Davies) and 90 offices.

Proposed layouts are located on northeast side of campus on Myrtle Ave side. Location picked was due to consideration size of portable, electrical, and utilities (water & sewer). Concern with this location would be parking and walking distance from parking garage.

A recommendation for PV3 to be located in the south side of campus. Concerns would be access to utilities. 

Another proposed idea is to put in front of Operations building but this location would be too close to Davies Hall. 

Two story portables were suggested but may take longer.

Layouts will need to be reviewed by local fire through DSA then it will move forward.

BJ can help facilitate open session for feedback. 
STEM Elevator Update: Addressing Concerns Koue Vang, Margaret Lednicky
From FM:

The STEM elevator manufacturer is Kone, a commonly used elevator specified in many buildings. 

Regarding the entrapment that occurred:
There are various reasons as to causes. Entrapments happen in all types of elevators, not just Kone. When elevator techs get a call notifying them of an entrapment the goal is to get the individual out. Typically they are able to get people out immediately by picking the door and resetting the remote governor. However, in ARC’s instance, the unique design of the door operator prevented the tech from being able to pick the door. In addition, the remote governor could not be reset. The techs later found that a drive board needed replacement as well. Depending on the scenario and the method used to get the individual out, further damage may occur. Sometimes the damages that resulted might be minimal and the unit can be inspected and the unit is returned to service immediately, but in other times (such as the one at STEM) the damage can be extensive and  the extent of the damage dictates the timeline of repair and return to service. Understanding the impact, this was handled and processed as an emergency PO. Everyone on the team understood the urgency of this and FM asked a contractor to come out and do the repairs in conjunction with licensed elevator technicians. The board has since been replaced. The length of time to return to service was due to repair of the shaft which was a fire rated assembly and FM did treat the repair as an emergency and as such were able to return to service earlier than anticipated despite the Holiday break during the process.

Regarding the reoccurring shaking:
In speaking to Kone, one of the items Kone mentioned is that when the unit has been sitting unused for a specific amount of time (as it was during COVID when the building was unused for 2 years) there is a possibility that the glides and pulleys end up with an “indentation” or flatten over lack of use. This could be attributing to the shaking that is being felt when moving.  FM was currently working on seeing if it was possible to convert the existing glides, to replace them with a conversion kit. FM even scheduled a specific meeting with Kone leaders to address this specific concern. However, Kone did not allow FM to purchase a conversion kit.
