One of our favorite summer landmarks is back with the help of our amazing landscape staff—the Valley Dining Center live wall! 🪴🏵️

Looking for a fun place on campus to grab some pics with friends? This is the perfect spot! Stop by, enjoy the view and soak in those summer rays. ☀️

Happy Memorial Day, Broncos. Today, we remember and honor the brave people who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

Our offices are closed in observance of the holiday, but we are available if there are any facilities emergencies. Call us at (269) 387-8514.

We're thrilled to share that Western Michigan University has been selected as one of the Battle of the Buildings winners! This award, presented by the Michigan Green Building Collaborative (MiGBC), recognizes energy use reduction within commercial, industrial and multi-family buildings throughout Michigan.

This year, Spindler Hall is being recognized as the winner in the Lodging and Multifamily category for its 10.53% reduction in weather-normalized source energy use intensity. These results were achieved by repairing a significant number of failed stream traps, window issues and adding additional sealing to the building envelope. Thanks to all our staff who helped make this energy reduction possible!

A campus sunrise will never get old for us. We're thankful to have employees who capture these great views as they start their day! 😍

Did you know that it's National Bike to Work Week? 🚲

Our team has been celebrating by riding our bikes to work as many days as we can, and we've loved every mile! We'd love to hear about your biking adventures too. Share your stories (or photos!) in the comments below. ✨

Road construction on Ring Road North will occur from May 18 through June 30 and will involve a road closure and traffic under flag control. 🚧

A closure with no thru traffic will affect a short section of Ring Road North in front of Valley Dining Center, including the pedestrian bridge over Goldsworth Valley Pond, from May 19-25. This closure is needed for safety upgrades and bridge resealing.

Following this work, Ring Road North from Ellsworth Hall to the Valley 1 intersection will be under flag control from June 2-11 for concrete removal and replacement, supporting new sidewalk installation. Asphalt removal and replacement will take place in June on a date to be determined; each phase will take one day, with flag control remaining in place.

Happy National Skilled Trades Day! Today we thank our incredible maintenance skilled trades professionals for their expertise, dedication and hard work. You keep our facilities safe, functional and running every day. We couldn't do it without you! 💛🛠️

Facilities Management has created a map highlighting areas where construction or projects will be taking place across campus this summer. For your safety, please stay clear of marked construction zones. View the map at https://wmich.edu/maps/print.
