In a disastrous dream schemed up by UW Emergency Management, a substation just west of campus has exploded. The power is out across most of north Seattle, including the University. Smoke clouds are billowing toward campus and generators will only last so long.

It's a good thing it isn't real.

Emergency Management, Transportation Services, UW Surplus, Grounds Management and UW Recycling joined the celebration on Red Square this past Friday to help educate the community about their sustainable practices and programs for Earth Day.

On March 29, 2016 at its annual awards ceremony, the U-District Partnership recognized UW Facilities Services with its Keep the U-District Beautiful award.

On February 10, three Facilities Services groups (Transportation Services, UW Recycling and Emergency Management) joined more than 70 other booths at Environmental Health & Safety’s first-ever Safety, Sustainability and Preparedness Expo.

For emergency personnel, being prepared for the worst is a part of the job. So when an opportunity came up to use an empty residence hall for a unique training scenario, emergency planners and police lieutenants jumped at the chance.

Facilities Services’ Transportation Services and The Whole U joined forces to create the first ever UW Tweed Ride. The historical bicycle tour took community members across campus, stopping for photos along the way.

Facilities’ own UW Recycling, Emergency Management and Transportation Services, alongside UW Sustainability, took to the bricks to participate in the UW Dawg Daze Student Activities Fair.
