An asbestos survey will be conducted in the Central, West, Library and Technology Buildings beginning this week during business hours and continuing for several weeks on weekends and evenings. This work should be completed by mid-February. Mike Pozzi of Environmental Technical Solutions will begin collecting samples from multiple areas inside these buildings in order to prepare a comprehensive report. Any materials collected will be done according to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environmental regulations and industry standards. The collection of samples within the building will not cause any possible release of asbestos into the air and therefore it is acceptable for students and staff to be in the building during the asbestos survey. This collection of samples will not impact daily operations within any of these buildings. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please contact David Krajicek, Environmental Health and Safety Department Manager at 303-556-8397 or at krajicekd@ahec.edu.

The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) has launched a new web page designed to give the Auraria Campus community the vehicle to easily find H1N1 flu information, especially as it pertains to the campus. The web page (www.ahec.edu/h1n1) features flu-related information and direct web links to campus, state and national health organizations such as, the Health Center at Auraria, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Ready Colorado, and Flu.gov; the nation’s designated website for flu information. Additionally, the web page provides updated information regarding when and where to get flu shots, educational information, and tips for staying healthy and providing care to anyone who has been infected with the flu virus. AHEC has also added a flu-related option for callers to the Auraria Campus. When calling the main campus switchboard, 303-556-2400, option 6 will allow callers access to recorded information about seasonal flu and H1N1 flu, or connect them directly with the Health Center at Auraria. The Auraria Campus reminds everyone to get a seasonal flu shot as soon as possible, in an effort to avoid contracting the virus. Those at high risk (seniors, people with diabetes, women who are pregnant, or anyone under the age of 19) are especially encouraged. To find a convenient location for receiving the seasonal flu shot, go to www.immunizecolorado.com. Click here to go to the Online H1N1 Resource Guide Posted: 10.5.09 |
