Facilities Services, CenTrio Energy and a local contractor have begun an emergency repair of the steam line located on the west side of Comstock Avenue just north of the intersection at Euclid Avenue.
During the repair, there are no planned interruptions to building utility services in the area (domestic water, sewer, power or communication). However, the work will require a closure of a section of sidewalk and detour of pedestrian traffic at the two adjacent crosswalks to the east side of Comstock. Additionally, flaggers may be periodically provided should portions of the vehicular travel lane be required to complete the work. The work began on Monday, Oct. 9. The entire repair, including restoration, is expected to be completed this week.

New LED lighting fixtures are shining bright in the John A. Lally Athletics Complex arena. Over the summer, nearly 300 fixtures were replaced with roughly 150 LED lights, helping improve lighting quality and save energy.
The arena lights run over 6,000 hours annually, which is equivalent to over 250 days. By using more efficient LED fixtures, the amount needed to light the arena has been nearly halved. This project will help the University reduce its carbon footprint by roughly 141 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) each year. CO2 equivalent is a metric used to compare and understand the impact of emissions from various greenhouse gas emissions based on their global warming potential. 141 metric tons of CO2e is equivalent to the emissions from over 100,000 pounds of coal burned.

In recognition of the historically close ties and frequent crossover between Business, Finance and Administrative Services (BFAS) and Auxiliary Services, the two divisions are launching a joint communications unit, combining the marketing and communications resources from each division.
The new unit will be led by director of communications Jennifer DeMarchi, who will now report to both Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Brett Padgett and Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer John Papazoglou.
In addition to her new responsibilities with Auxiliary Services, DeMarchi remains the primary point of contact for all marketing and communications needs for the units within BFAS, including Campus Facilities, Administration and Services, the Comptroller’s Office, the Office of Institutional Risk and Audit Management, the Office of Budget and Planning, the Office of the Treasurer, and Real Estate and Asset Management.
Abby Haessig, previously the Auxiliary Services marketing manager, will move into the role of assistant director of marketing and communications, supporting both BFAS and the units within Auxiliary Services. The unit will also include marketing managers Hannah Redmond (Campus Store) and Keone Weigl (Food Services), who will continue to provide marketing and communications support to their respective departments.
BFAS and Auxiliary Services interact on a regular basis, and in fact, several units now housed within BFAS were previously under the Auxiliary Services umbrella. Establishing a cohesive communications team will allow for coordination between the divisions on shared areas of interest. In addition, the new unit will follow the lead of the University’s Division of Marketing, and establish a renewed focus on consistent messaging, design, and branding across all platforms.
As before, all staff members in both divisions should continue to reach out to members of the communications unit for all marketing and communications needs: publications, presentations, digital tools, websites, print and promotional materials, SU News communications, social media, and all internal and external communications, including media requests.
Anyone with questions should contact Jenn DeMarchi at jmhorv01@syr.edu.
