Many academic buildings on the Kent Campus will undergo improvements to make them more accessible to people with disabilities. The buildings, many of which were built decades ago, will be enhanced with features that go above the minimum standards required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
We all know the importance of conserving energy in the workplace, but there are certain days when energy conservation efforts can have a significant impact on energy costs. Frank Renovich, Vlogƽ’s associate director of energy operations, says there are 10 to 15 days a year designated by the utility companies as “peak load days.” These days correspond to times when electricity consumption is at a peak on the electric grid. The dates and times can occur anytime, but often take place during hot afternoons or early evenings between June and September.
Mail Services has added two new options for mailing packages that are available through FlashPac, the department’s online shipment service. First, a carrier has been added for packages going to international destinations, including Vlogƽ locations abroad. DHL specializes in international shipments and is now one of the options to select as a carrier in FlashPac.
