A Monday Maintenance Reminder: Please do not use drain cleaner in the university drains.
Plant Services offers drain cleaning as a service. Dumping drain cleaner in the drain does not clear the drain, and only results in splashing our technician with acid when they clear the drain. Instead, if you have a slow drain, contact your RA to place a work request for a technician to clear the drain of debris.
Food should never be dumped down sink or drinking fountain drains. You can put food in lined bags and remove immediately to the outside bin (food like oatmeal, bread or rice that swells when in contact with liquid), or you can flush more liquid-type food down toilets instead (food like leftover ramen or soup).
Report any issues to your RA instead of trying rogue DIY methods. Plant Services has the equipment and knowledge to keep your space functioning well. Thank you!
Questions? Contact Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a water jet cutter? Our ProtoMax Waterjet Cutter is a machine that uses highly pressurized water with a flow of an abrasive material to perform computer-controlled cuts on a wide variety of materials, including 1-inch steel. This helps create parts with intricate designs for car engines, mounting brackets, and decorative plates. Check out this video to see the water jet in action!
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
