Scale-Up Classrooms
by Brian Johnson 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

Good Morning, Just FYI, some new tables and chairs were ordered for the Scale-Up Classrooms, 2142, 2144, and 2146 LSB. They were delivered last Friday. Each room now has 7 round tables with 6 chairs around each table. There were some questions this morning about maybe too many table in one room. Hope this helps to clarify. Brian Brian L.

Ellsworth Building Wireless Upgrade
by Danny Yeo 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Dear colleagues, OIT sent me the following email. If you are affected, please let me know. Thanks. "The wireless access devices in the ELLB are approaching end-of-life. We would like to replace them in the next couple of weeks. I could use your help in three ways as we prepare for this upgrade: 1 – In preparation for replacing the devices, we will need to reboot the wireless in the building. We would like to do this reboot this Wednesday night at 10:00pm. There is 5-10 minutes outage as the devices are rebooted. Please let me know if this works for the building’s schedule. 2 – Once the devices are rebooted, in the next week or so, we would come to the ELLB to replace the wireless devices. Our team would have ladders and replace the devices one at a time. We should be able to complete the work in a day or two. There may be a brief reduction in service near the newly replaced device until it comes online and gets its configuration. This about a five minute process per device. 3 – Prior to replacing the devices we want to be sure we are providing wireless service in the places and strengths that are needed within the building. I have attached a set of maps for the building showing the existing coverage areas, as well as some changes we would like to make. Please review the attached maps and let me know if you have any changes (or questions) about this, as we want to make sure we provide you with good wireless network coverage. A few things to know about the maps: * Red areas mean there is no intended wireless coverage for the space. Green areas mean there is full wireless coverage expected. We are introducing yellow coverage areas into the building, which means there will be coverage, but we will not guarantee speeds or performance. * We have made some proposed changes in red/green and yellow pen (squiggly areas). If there is green pen it means we intend to ensure strong coverage in the area, if its red pen, then no coverage is expected." ____________________________ Danny Yeo College of Life Sciences | 5102 LSB | Brigham Young University | 701 E.

Reminder
by Brian Johnson 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

Good Morning, Just a quick reminder about some emergency and after-hours procedures. The LSB experienced a leak in one of the labs over the weekend, resulting in some flooding and damage. The student working in the lab emailed the lab manager, who then emailed me. By the time I saw the email, it was after 10pm. Upon arriving at campus and finding the issue, calling the after-hours number (801-422-2222) and getting the on-call repair team on site, there was quite a lot of water and damage. Please remind the people working in Your labs of the emergency procedures attached. In this case, it would have definitely saved time. Brian Brian L. Johnson Life Sciences Facilities Manager College of Life Sciences Brigham Young University 1100A LSB Provo, Utah 84602 801-422-5683 brian_johnson(a)byu.edu<mailto:brian_johnson@byu.edu>

Fw: recycling help
by Brian Johnson 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

FYI. ________________________________ From: Bill Rudy <bill_rudy(a)byu.edu> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2025 2:34 PM To: Brian Johnson <brian_johnson(a)byu.edu> Subject: recycling help Brian, I'm hoping that you will know where to direct this request since you are listed as the physical facilities contact with Life Sciences. On a regular basis we have two recycling concerns at the Life Sciences Building: 1. the paper bins have brown packing paper in them 2. the plastic bottle bins have other plastics, such as pipette trays Brown packing paper should go in the cardboard bin, and the only plastic we can recycle are plastic bottles. I will contact the building operations staff to make sure they are aware but based on what I see in the bins I'm fairly certain that labs or people who receive shipments are likely unaware of how best to recycle. Are there people I could reach out to with training or a message, or would you rather be the person to pass on a message? Thanks for your help.

Conference Rooms in the LSB
by Josh Leavitt 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Everyone, With the new semester kicking off today, I just wanted to send you a quick reminder about some of the policies and procedures surrounding the conference rooms available for our use here in the LSB: 1. Use of conference rooms must be approved through the college scheduler-https://lsscheduler.byu.edu-prior to your use of the room. Before using one of the building conference rooms, please make sure to make a request through the online scheduler site. The student secretaries in the dean's office review those requests every day, so you shouldn't have to wait long for a decision. If you need to use a conference room at short notice, please call the dean's office. 1. Please straighten up the room after you are through using it. After using one of the conference rooms, please make sure that the following have been done: 1. The chairs have been neatly placed back around the table. 2. Any trash from your group has been cleaned up. 3. The lights and projection systems have been powered off. In general, be good neighbors in your use of the conference rooms. Please make sure to clean up after yourselves and show respect for the building, the furniture, and the equipment that we all share. Thanks, Josh Leavitt College Executive Assistant BYU College of Life Sciences 5004 LSB | josh_leavitt(a)byu.edu<mailto:josh_leavitt@byu.edu> | (801) 422-3963 (voice or text)

Don't submit a Service Request, things should be back to normal tomorrow morning. Brian Brian L.
