Making a Mark on Campus
The Thermal Energy Storage Facility, part of the Campus Chilled Water System, is getting a finishing touch in the form of the largest I Mark on campus. Members of the Facilities & Services Paint Shop are scheduled to complete the University’s logo on the 6.5 million gallon tank this week. The I Mark stands 18 feet high and the Illinois wordmark spans a width of 72 feet.
Ecological Solution to Playground Flooding
With a grant from the University of Illinois Office of the Vice Chancellor for Public Engagement, members of the F&S Safety & Compliance department collaborated with the City of Champaign and Unit 4 School District to design and build a rain garden at Robeson Elementary School. The project alleviates playground flooding and improves local stormwater quality while fulfilling requirements of the University's stormwater permit.
