Music Drama hardscape: due to the replacement of hardscape in front of Music Drama, all south entrances will be closed. Please use the recommended detour provided in the map to access the building from the north.

Energy Audit of University Buildings

Lawrence has hired Johnson Controls to do an energy audit on campus.  The audit began on Tuesday, May 21, and will continue over the next few weeks. The following buildings are currently being audited:       

Academy of Music
Alex Gym
Briggs Hall
Brokaw Hall
Buchanan-Kiewit Wellness Center
Chapman Hall
Conservatory West 
Facility Services
Main Hall
Memorial Chapel
Memorial Hall
Music Drama
Seeley G. Mudd Library
Shattuck Hall 
Steitz Hall
Warch Campus Center
Wriston Art Center
Youngchild Hall

If you work in one of these 18 buildings, please note that you may see employees of Johnson Controls walking through hallways, rooms, and offices. The University has given them permission to check every room in buildings if needed, and they can be identified by their Johnson Controls lanyard.  While they do need to access every room, they understand and respect that class is still in session and the business of learning is our first priority; they will work around classes, labs, meetings, etc. and will make every effort to avoid disrupting our activities. 

Lighting data loggers (see image below) are also being installed in these buildings for 2-3 weeks. These loggers will be gathering baseline numbers on how and when our buildings are in use, for annual energy savings calculations. Please do not tamper with the loggers.

Looking for a Few Good Furniture Items

Dear Campus community,

Facilities works hard to fill standard furniture requests as expeditiously as possible; however, we don’t want to buy new furniture to fill requests when there is unused furniture around campus. We will post regularly a list of furniture needs in the LU Insider. Please review the list to check if you have any unused items in classrooms, offices or lounge areas that match what is needed.

Thank you!

Current list of furniture needs:

Conference round36″ – 40″d
Metal cabinet24″w x 30″ – 40″h
