The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Board of Regents last week approved the development plan for the first major project in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s newly named Portage Bay Crossing area on the west side of the Seattle campus. The Regents approved a ground lease of the property at Site W27 to Wexford Science + Technology and a lease of building space by the University.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Custodian Project is advocating for custodians, lifting their voices and raising awareness about their important roles on campus. As part of the project, an art exhibit called “(in)Visibilityâ€� is hanging in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Tower through March. It features photos taken by 16 custodians, paired with their testimonials.

One of the essential roles that is often not seen is the work of our campus photographers. They continue to capture the visual stories and people on campus in a time when many of us aren’t there to see them ourselves. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ News asked one of our campus photographers to share some of his favorite photos he’s taken this spring, and to describe what it’s like working on campus now.

When the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ moved to online instruction March 9, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Facilities Services developed a three-week disinfection plan. Custodial staff are now working through more than 500 classrooms, lecture halls, libraries, auditoriums and shared spaces, with similar efforts under way in Bothell and Tacoma.
