Greetings Campus Community,
On Tuesday, April 16, our Facilities & Services crews will be conducting a plumbing repair in the Public Affairs Center (PAC). This repair will require us to temporarily close the restrooms for the entire day in Tower 3 on the 1st and 2nd floors. All other restroom facilities will be open and available for use.
Your patience and understanding during this period are greatly appreciated.

Please be aware that Parking Lot E will be closed from early morning through 12:00 PM on Friday, April 12, so that school children may safely enter the UIS Performing Arts Center for the Staley Class Acts performance of Romeo & Juliet.

Installation of two new rooftop units (RTUs) on the Student Life Building (SLB) will take place tomorrow, April 10. Beginning early tomorrow morning, a crane will be positioned on the east side of the building for this replacement process so please avoid the area while the crane is in place.
RTUs for the Human Resources Building (HRB) and the WUIS building will be installed soon. Currently the ground is too soft to safely position and use the crane. Stay tuned for a firm date when we get firm ground!

While the structure, categories, and rankings should all look familiar, we made some minor changes to its functionality. As a reminder, supervisors will assign self-evaluations to their individual employees.
