Environmental Health and Safety has moved

You probably know that most Facilities groups are moving to their new building on North Main Street. As part of the process of moving out of the old Physical Plant building, Environmental Health and Safety personnel have moved to the Steinheim (the stone building above Powell Campus Center). Doug Clarke (Chief) and Denny Glass (Manager) have their offices there, and will be able to do training sessions and hold meetings in their new space. We have first aid supplies and fire extinguishers, and hazardous waste labels and all those other things you may need. Bring your needs and concerns up the hill, and come see us in our new "digs"!
