Attention: graduate students using desk space in MCML 124 and 318D

Dear graduate students,

Hello! We hope everyone are enjoying the summer. The new graduate student space desk assignment proposal has been adopted for almost a year and it is time to perform a quick review of how this arrangement has worked for you.

Just a quick recap, last fall a new graduate student desk proposal was adopted. The proposal basically assigns desks to each PI proportionally to their student enrollment, in hope to offer flexibility of desk use while encouraging sharing of limited resources.

We would love to hear your feedback so we will greatly appreciate if you could spend some time to fill out the below survey. You can either click on the link below or scan the QR code to partake. We’ve also sent out a separate survey to your PIs to collect their valuable feedback as well.

We also continue to offer ways for PIs and students to provide feedback in these graduate student shared spaces. We have included them below for your reference.

• LFS Open Feedback Channel (Anonymous) continues to be available:

• Any concerns/feedback can also be sent to:

lfs.facilities@ubc.ca

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate a better and more efficient use of limited graduate student space.

Cheers,

Imelda Cheung

Annual Fire Drill at H.R. MacMillan Building on Aug 10^th, 2023 at 10AM

The annual fire drill for the H.R. MacMillan building is scheduled to take place on Aug 10^th THURSDAY at 10AM. When you hear the alarm, you must evacuate immediately through the nearest exit to the muster location/predesignated meeting area. Please see below what you should do hearing an alarm, and our building map for the muster locations. If you are unfamiliar with the emergency procedures, please carefully review the Building Emergency Response Plan (BERP) and/or email us any questions/concerns at lfs.facilities@ubc.ca.

 

When you hear an alarm

• Treat it as a real emergency.
• Use the stairway and proceed to the ground floor. Never use elevators if fire is suspected.
• Once outside, proceed to the assembly area so that a head count can be taken. Part of doing your annual fire drill is to find your assembly area before an actual fire occurs.
• Don’t go back in until the all clear has been announced by emergency personnel.

Cheers,

Imelda Cheung
