Bridge Cafe alters menu because of the heat

Friday, June 25th, 2021

Due to the predicted high temperatures expected next week, we will not be serving the taqueria on the Bridge Café patio on Monday, June 28, or Tuesday, June 29. Instead, we will be offering some new made-to-order sandwich concepts in the café on those two days.

On Wednesday, June 30, the Bridge Café will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., but there will be no lunch offered on the patio. Instead, we encourage you to attend the Staff Development Committee’s annual summer barbecue on the quad that day from noon to 1 p.m. The cost is $5, and all university employees, including student employees and faculty, are invited.

Questions? Contact Lisa Miles at lmiles@georgefox.edu.

Air conditioning to be turned off over the weekend

Thursday, June 24th, 2021

This weekend we are expecting record-setting temperatures Saturday through Monday. To best protect our equipment, Plant Services will be shutting off the large air conditioning systems for Saturday and Sunday. Bauman Auditorium is hosting an event until 2 p.m. on Saturday, so the air conditioning will be shut down after the event.

By turning these systems off, if a power event (such as a brownout) occurs over the weekend, the university’s equipment will not be affected. By taking these steps, the university will not be contributing to a large power draw over the weekend, either.

We will bring the systems back online on Monday, June 28. The systems affected are in:

  • Canyon Commons
  • Duke Athletic Center
  • EHS
  • Hadlock Student Center
  • Hoover
  • Klages Center
  • Lemmons Center
  • Murdock Library
  • Roberts Center
  • Ross Center
  • Stevens Center
  • Thomas Center
  • Wheeler Sports Center
  • Wood-Mar Hall

Air conditioning in the lobby areas of the following buildings will also be shut off:

  • Brandt Hall
  • Edwards Hall
  • Newlin Hall
  • Sutton Hall

Please contact Plant Services (plantservices@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions. Thank you!

Please continue to wear face covering when visiting the food bank

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021

Thank you for continuing to wear a face covering when shopping at the Bruin Community Pantry’s food bank.

Considering the small space, we want to be able to keep everyone safe, so face coverings will continue to be required to access the food bank.

Thank you for your cooperation. Contact Jere Witherspoon (jwitherspoon@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
