Facilities Management releases interactive map of construction projects

Facilities Management's "The Shape of Things to Come" newsletter has been given a new shape. The traditional printed newsletter describing significant upcoming and ongoing construction projects on the Western Washington University campus has given way to an interactive online map that allows the user to click on a specific building to find more information about related construction.

The new format saves money by obviating printing costs and allows Facilities Management to disseminate information in a more timely fashion.

Facilities Management is managing an unprecedented number of projects this summer due to the university administration's determination that no construction funds be reappropriated from the 2009-2011 biennial budget. This means the majority of the 2009-2011 minor capital projects must be completed during this summer, when there is greater access to the academic buildings.

More than 70 projects are scheduled overall. To visit the online, interactive map of WWU construction projects, click here.
