In memory of Alexandra Psiharis
It is with deep sadness that we are announcing the unexpected passing of Alexandra Psiharis. Alexandra was a valued member of the Building Operations team for over 30 years. She started on September 21, 1990 in Custodial Services and moved to the Service Centre in 2006.

COVID-19 safety
With the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in BC, including increasing cases involving more easily transmitted COVID-19 variants, it is more important than ever for each and every one of us to follow required safety protocols when working on campus.

Our operational priorities
As we head into the new financial year, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued hard work and dedication. I recognize the new systems have been challenging and I am proud of the resilience and continued collaborative efforts of the Facilities team.

Welcome to Planon
Congratulations everyone! Today’s go-live of Planon marks a significant milestone for the Facilities team and our UBC community. The efforts required — from our evaluation and selection of Planon, to undergoing design, configuration, testing and training, to go-live today — have been significant and the implementation of this system has not been a simple task.
