Greetings Campus Community,
We want to inform you that Facilities & Services will be working on the 4th floor of UHB this week, which may cause disruptions with noise and lingering dust in certain areas. Work will be primarily focused on room 4023 but may affect nearby hallways. Signage will be posted to guide you if any detours around the work area are necessary.
Your patience and understanding are appreciated as we work to enhance our campus learning spaces.

Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.
During the week of May 27, we will be upgrading TRAC.
During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.
Please be aware that Parking Lot C-North (east section) will be closed on Wednesday, May 21, so that the painters may restripe the parking lot.
Check daily for lot closures as the painters continue to work their way through campus restriping parking lots.
Your patience and understanding are very much appreciated!

If you received an email from GrantForward, it is not spam or a phishing attempt. This is a grant database that UIS is subscribed to. Previously, it only had accounts for faculty and those who opted in. Today, accounts went live for Civil Service and Academic Professional employees.
This is how the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will begin sending out monthly newsletters at the start of the Fall semester to increase efficiency and have better usage metrics than the email version we've been using.
Don't hesitate to reach out with questions!

A critical plumbing repair will be performed this week on the first floor of Brookens - both classroom and library sides. Crews will be replacing a sewage pump, which requires shutting off water for the entire first floor. This will affect restrooms, sinks, and water fountains on the first floor only. The water service will continue normally, and facilities will be available on all other floors.
Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 13 and wrap up on Thursday, May 15.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to main our campus facilities.
