Projects Updates for place: Campus Instructional Facility

  1. Outfitting main quads with 3-bins

    Associated Project(s): 

    Members of the Zero Waste Team analyzed the main buildings in each of the three central quads. Locations of current 3-bins were noted as well as areas where more were needed. The plan is to transition away from single flow trash and recycling bins towards a system where only 3-bins are used in main hallways. This will ensure that there are well marked bins in highly visible areas and will condense the many bins that need to be serviced by university workers into fewer overall bins. Overall this initiative will lead to improved waste management efficiency and increased recycling rates across the campus.

  2. Recycling Bin Update 04/01/24

    Associated Project(s): 

    Hi Todd & Mark,

    I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out & reconnect on the topic of the black, metal outdoor bins. I believe we have 18 identified locations approved by Brent Lewis ready to be installed as soon as the shops are able (locations attached) – these all require concrete poured. We then have  ~56 more stored primarily in the Buenting Barn that we have not yet identified locations for, but will very shortly. Some of them will require concrete and others will not. We have WO# 10814481 for this project.  Pete is hoping to have the whole process wrapped up by June 30, 2024. I just wanted to put this back up on the radar and get a sense of whether we will be able to get these all installed by summer?

    I will be in contact soon regarding the locations of the remaining bins.

    Thank you!
    Daphne

    Good morning Daphne,  Mark forwarded your email to me.  When you send the lists of locations out, please be sure to copy all that are on this email.

    In response to your question below of completion by June 30 that is not possible.  Also, without knowing all of the locations it is difficult to give you an answer as to what the completion timeframe would be.  Below are the two scenarios depending on the proposed locations of the bins.

    Installing the bins on existing concrete:

     1.   Ironworkers can go to the site with the bins/post with two guys and install the anchors and the bins in 2-3 crew hours (4-6 hours total with two guys).

    Installing the bins on newly placed concrete:

     1.  This process will begin with the labor supervisor going to the site and marking the location.  1-2 hours
     2.  The utility marking crew would then be notified, and they have a 48 hour window to locate utilities.  1-2 hours
     3.  Laborers and operators go to the site and dig out the spot and place rock. 3-4 crew hours
     4.  Cement finishers form and pour the concrete and it needs to cure for at least 48 hours.  3-4 crew hours
     5.  Ironworkers can install the anchors and the bin once concrete has cured. 2-3 crew hours

    Depending on how closely the locations are to each other they may prepare 2 or 3 at once and rotate through those with the different steps above.  However, that is not always possible.

    I hope this helps to see how the two differ in time needed and to see how it really gets involved when the location requires new concrete.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.



       Thank you,

    Hi all,

    I am sharing out 11 more locations which have been approved by Brent & Stacey. Please see attached, and please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I will continue to send out locations as I receive approval.

    Thank you,
    Daphne

    Justin, 

     

    You can have Burzin work on this when he comes in, if you like.

     

    Thanks

    Hi all,

     

    We have completed all outdoor bin location proposals. With all the photos it is a large document, so I have placed it on a shared Box. Please let me know if any of these locations need further clarification.

     

    Thank you,
    Daphne

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Daphne and Tim,

     

    Once the additional bin locations are approved for installation let us know and we will get them added/updated in GIS.

     

    Tim,

    As your team completes installs let us know and we will collect “as-installed” location plus an image for GIS.

     

    Daphne,

    We’ve added the dual bins installed to date along with an image to GIS…(sample below)

  4. Greywater System in the CIF Feasability Study Paper

    Good afternoon Mr. Sims,

     

    My name is Juliette Deley and my team, Team 9, recently presented to you as part of our final project for CEE 190, Project Based Introduction to Civil & Environmental Engineering. Attached to this email is the paper to our feasibility study on implementing a greywater system in the Campus Instructional Facility.

     

    Again, thank you for taking the time to hear our presentation earlier today,

     

    Best,

    Juliette D. 

    --------------------

    Morgan, Jeremy, Katie and Mike,

     

    I attended freshman level Civil Engineering class project presentations last week. One of the presentations was their study regarding greywater system at CIF. They sent me their report.

     

    I have not had a chance to review and with this being a freshman level class not sure how much new information for you will be provided, but forwarding to you to let you know that students are interested about utilizing greywater systems on campus.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Jim

  5. Brent Lewis approves 17 more dual bin locations

    Associated Project(s): 

    On July 18th, Brent Lewis approved 16 more sites for installation, and the site on Champaign property was approved on July 6. On September 6th, these 17 sites plus the 7 additional sites sent to earlier this summer on June 7th (the eighth site at Siebel Center for Computer Science was installed on August 1st, so it was omitted from this spreadsheet), were sent to the iron workers for a total of 24 sites.

     

    55 dual bins remain in storage and need site proposals from the zero waste team and approval from Brent Lewis.

  6. 1 outdoor dual bin installed at Siebel Center for Computer Science

    Associated Project(s): 

    79 outdoor dual bins remain in storage.

    Stacey,

    I’ve looked into this and there is no issue with you replacing the existing concrete can.  Please just minimize its encroachment into the walking path.

     

    Thanks,

    Marchello

    Hi Morgan,

     

    You and Brent approved a dual bin installation site at 6th St and Daniel, near the Psychology Building. The new dual bin would face west and be located up against the building on existing concrete. Could we receive confirmation from the City of Champaign that this location is okay?

     

    Thank you,

  8. Status Update

    The following is an email conversation between Morgan White, Ahmed Hassan, and Johnathan Hasselbring.

    On Jul 6, 2023 Morgan sent the following:

    Hi Ahmed,

    Thanks for sending another email!  I meant to get back to you earlier, so thanks for the additional note.

    Jon, can you provide information to Ahmed about the current status of the geothermal system at CIF, or connect him with the appropriate people?

    Ahmed, please use this info to request the energy data access:

    The Energy Billing System (EBS) is a web-based software application that offers utility cost and consumption by month, building, and meter. It allows users to view current and historic information, compare buildings, and see trends over time. It requires Blue-Stem authorization and users must request access from F&S.

    Thanks!

    Morgan

    ------------

    Dear Morgan, 

    Thank you very much for the prompt response. Your contribution is highly appreciated. 

    Best Regards 

    Ahmed 

    -------------

    Hi Ahmed,

    The geothermal system is in operation and coupled with a heat recovery chiller and radiant heating panels.

    Geothermal provides about 75% of the heating and cooling needs for the building, with the heat recovery chiller and radiant panels supplementing the remaining 25%.

    Please let me know what questions you might have, and I will gladly connect you with more members of the team.

    Thanks,

    Jon
