One Stop website update

The One Stop website redesign project is ramping up for upcoming usability sessions with prospective, undergraduate and graduate students in August. Currently, the ASR communications team is creating the content, sending it to ASR and system campus colleagues, and moving approved content to the new site. The technical team is preparing the development site that will be tested by students in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates.

Fraser construction update

This week, in Fraser 200, the conference rooms are being framed while cubicle systems and office furniture are being installed. The project is progressing according to plan, and staff may begin moving back into the space as early as the middle of August. But, as with any project of this scale, "the unexpected" can occur. Please avoid getting in the way of workers if you look inside the space, and if you notice something is missing, don't panic, it probably is missing. But, that doesn't mean it won't be installed.
