Night-time work to replace fire retardant begins July 31

Night-time work to replace fire-retardant materials on the support beams on the P-2 level of the Natural Resources Building Garage will begin the evening of July 31 and will continue through Aug. 9. The work will occur Monday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. While employees and visitors should be minimally impacted by the work, please be sure to remove your vehicle from the work area by 6 p.m. View a detailed map of the work schedule.

Tenants and passersby may notice a chemical odor from the materials. Enterprise Services is taking extra precautions to protect tenants who are sensitive to smell by reducing the amount of outside air entering the NRB and surrounding buildings, while maintaining sufficient levels of fresh air inside.

NRB Parkers are encouraged to park on the “F” Level of the Plaza Garage while work on the NRB Garage is underway. When parking in the NRB and Plaza garages, remember:/p>
  • Park in the center of the stall to allow room for all parkers to enter and exit their vehicles.
  • If you notice damage to your vehicle, contact your insurance provider.
  • If you are involved in an accident and it’s not an emergency, report it to the Washington State Patrol (WSP) at 360- 586-1998.
