June 2017
Greetings from Facilities!
The June issue of this newsletter contains the latest information related to Facilities
Management programs and projects, along with general information concerning the
campus master plan and subsequent capital improvements. If you have questions about
any of the items listed, please e-mail me at [email protected]. The newsletter will
also be posted on the Facilities web site.
College Wide Campus Master Plan Phase 1b
Allied Health/EMS/JTED Health Occupation Programs
At the new Prescott Valley Center addition, framing is underway along with the
installation of fire sprinklers, HVAC duct work and electrical rough-in. Framing has
started on the second floor along with waterproofing, the setting of mechanical
components, a stairwell and an elevator shaft.
The exterior of the building is receiving windows and architectural panels along with the
roof and exterior stairway. The building is expected to be “dried in” by June.
The east side of the site has been graded for the additional parking and storm water
detention pond. Panther Path is being widened and repaved by the Town of Prescott
Valley, and the College is constructing a new side walk, curb and gutter.
The Town is making major improvements to Glassford Hill and Long Look Roads, which
has significantly increased construction traffic around and at the Prescott Valley Center,
so please use extra caution when traveling to and entering the site.
Demolition has begun in preparation for the EMS labs on the second floor of Building 2
on the Prescott Campus. Demolition will continue the first week of June followed by
framing, electrical and plumbing rough-in.
The EMS garage is nearing completion as interior and exterior trim work continues,
along with final site grading, paving and dumpster enclosure construction. Dumpsters
will be moved to this location from the service area at the rear entrance of Building 3.
As part of the budget, preventive maintenance projects are scheduled each year to
ensure that College facilities are maintained at a level to support optimum performance
in building systems, infrastructure, life safety, roadways and parking, along with College
grounds. These projects are the result of a recent Facilities Condition Assessment
(FCA) which identifies when repairs, modifications or replacement of components
should occur.
Future FCA Projects: Building 15 Roof – July 2017 Building 3 Breezeway Decking Leaks – TBD/FY18 Building 4 Breezeway Decking Leaks – TBD/FY18 Phase 1 Baseball Field Drainage – TBD/FYFY18 Phase 2 Prescott Waterline Replacement - TBD/ FY18 Phase 1 CTEC Parking Lot Drainage and Expansion – TBD/FY18 For more information, please see the Prescott site map below for a list of summer preventive maintenance and capital improvement projects.

Risk and Emergency Management
In the 1987 film Planes, Trains and Automobiles, stars John Candy and Steve Martin foolishly
ignore the warnings of passing motorists.
Most will agree that the above movie scene was very funny, but driving
the wrong way in real life is deadly serious. According to the NTSB, 300-
400 people die each year as the result of wrong way driving (“WWD”). In
Arizona alone, there were 1,600 WWD incidents reported to police in
2016. Many more are thought to have occurred, but were resolved
without a collision and not reported. WWD accidents have a much higher
fatality rate because many result in head-on collisions, which can be severe even at slow
speeds.
The Prescott campus is no exception. Yavapai College Police report that motorists are observed
travelling the wrong way on campus roads on a daily basis! Fortunately, there have been no
serious accidents – yet.
Most of these incidents happen when drivers heading east on Sheldon St. turn
left onto Marston Ave. at the main entrance. Drivers mistakenly stay left of the
median heading into the three lanes of traffic exiting the campus. Other areas
include the rotary (aka roundabout or circle) and vehicles leaving the parking
lot at building 28 (right turn only).
In an effort to reduce the amount of WWD, certain curbs have been painted
with high visibility yellow paint and in the next couple of weeks additional signage, road
markings and reflectors will be installed. In addition, the City has agreed to paint turn guide
lines at the Sheldon St. and Marston St. intersection.

Please take care driving on campus, obey the 15 mph speed limit, follow the signs and watch
for pedestrians! Together we can keep each other safe!
