On June 7, 2023 Morgan White and Brent Lewis approved 8 more outdoor bin locations, 1 pending approval from City of Champaign. The 8 locations will be passed along to the iron workers.

Morgan White, Daphne Hulse, & Sinead Soltis met to review the completed outdoor bin survey, which maps out the bins currently installed on campus and can be found in an ArcGIS online format. Over the next two weeks, the sites with a proposed bin installation will be finalized to resume installation. A follow-up meeting will be held Wednesday, June 7th, to better understand what is needed to get work order started. As a note, about 40 bins have been installed out of the 74 ordered.

Update from Daphne Hulse 6/9/23: 43 dual bins were counted as installed on campus currently. A visit to storage showed that there are currently 80 dual bins still palletized (128 individual bins (64 pairs) located in PPSB shed and 32 individual bins (16 pairs) located outside near shed) and waiting for installation. According to the attached outdoor bin memo, 130 bins were originally purchased. We have 123 bins total accounted for (installed and palletized). 7 bins are unaccounted for. They may have been damaged/replaced.

P10G96444 placed near Room 364.

On March 27, 2023, it was recorded that 63 buildings across campus have at least one of the new 3-bins.

P10E62230 placed in the basement, P10H08411 placed on second floor, and P10H08412 placed on third floor.

On Friday, February 17, the bin order from MAX-R arrived at the Waste Transfer Station. 20 26-gallon bins (standard size) and 8 18-gallon (slim) bins arrived.

The Undergraduate Library rehomed 6 3-bins at the onset of redevelopment:

• Armory took 4 (P10E62260 second floor east side right out of the elevator, P10E62264 third floor southside center outside restroom, P10E62261 third floor northside center outside of restroom, P10E62265 in landing area in front of Room 232 under glassed bulletin board).
• Mechanical Engineering Laboratory took 2 (P10E62262 and P10E62263 on first and second floors).

Below is an email exchange involving the NRES 285 Uni High reports:

Dear Director Elizabeth Majerus and Karl Radnitzer,

You both are the first recipients of the final sustainability written report and class presentation! For Karl, our team worked in conjunction with Don Marrow, and with you fulfilling his position, we wanted you to have a copy of this report. We hope that you both enjoy the report, and that it helps Uni!

Sincerely,

John Michelotti

Hi John,

Thanks for the report. I have printed it out and plan to read after school ends (May 27th). Thank you for your work.

Karl

Thank you for planning to read it, and you’re absolutely welcome for our work. Have a good last stretch up until the end of school.

Sincerely,

John Michelotti

Hi John,

Fist of all I noticed you were in Koinonia House. I have two of my friends that were in that house- Tim and Paul Manning. Do you know them? They would have graduated in the late 70s or early 80s but are very active alumni.

I have included Don Marrow (our Business manager) and Elizabeth Majerus ( our Director of the School). The part in red is where is where we need money to complete the projects Don and Elizabeth.

I have read the report. I want to do the following:

1. I will have 8 paper recycle containers on each floor- clearing marked. Should I spray paint them green or blue?
2. Make sure all black containers are for garbage/trash only so we don't find contamination in all recycling bins.
3. The issue with the steel door our previous business manager wanted the wooden doors.  Didn't have much say
4. I would like all lights motions to switched to sensor LED. Don how do we make that happen?
5. We realize our windows are not very effective. We need a complete overhaul of our windows.
6. We did have a group talk to us about food recycling, but they wanted to do the composting inside the building. That was not going to work.

1. On the land section, I have a boy scout do his eagle project on the area right outside the door on Springfield so that it now looks much better. We also have a club taking care of the small garden.
2. Don, how can we get more sensor water bottle filters on each floor.. We have one on third, we need on second near 206 and one near 106 N.

John,

I will be back in town July 6th. Maybe we can touch base.

Karl

Dear Eric and Meredith,

I hope each of your summers are restful and going well! I received this email today, along with one other that I will also forward, from Karl Radnitzer at Uni High. They are responses sent to me, Elizabeth Majerus, and Don Marrow—for some reason you both and the students were not included, but I think it’s because I sent out the files to him. I wanted you both to be aware so that you can appropriately respond whenever you can. I will tell him I’m forwarding this all to you both and thank him for his outlook on making changes. Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

John Michelotti

Hi Morgan, Paul, Andy, and Karl,

Last semester, the NRES285 students worked on a sustainability assessment of Uni High. Karl Radnitzer (Associate Director for Student Life at Uni High) expressed interest in moving forward with a few initiatives, as follows:

1. I would like all lights motions to switched to sensor LED. Don how do we make that happen?
2. We realize our windows are not very effective. We need a complete overhaul of our windows.

1. Don, how can we get more sensor water bottle filters on each floor.. We have one on third, we need on second near 206 and one near 106 N.

I am wondering if any of you have information on how we can move forward with any of these items. If there is someone else I should reach out to, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Meredith
