Last week, Larry Sampler, chief operating officer and vice president for Administration and Facilities Management, shared the following updates:
Vaccine requirements
- Visit the new vaccine-requirement webpage and Frequently Asked Questions section, which will be updated regularly.
- Specific timing and implementation details are still being developed, and new information and guidelines will be shared with the campus community as they become available.
- Attend the May 17 Employee Safe Return Town Hall for more details.
New mask requirements
- Masks are required indoors, except in controlled indoor settings with nine or fewer people if everyone is vaccinated.
Changes to vaccine operations and building access
- CovidCheck Colorado is accepting walk-up/drive-up clients at the 5th Street Garage vaccination location. Although scheduled appointments are encouraged, individual walk-up vaccines are available with no scheduled appointment.
- To better utilize the 5thStreet Garage, and to provide shelter to vaccine providers and support staff, check-in, vaccine administration and post-vaccine observation will now take place within the structure.
- Some building entrance and exit restrictions that were originally put in place to manage movement have been removed for greater access. Look for updated signage soon.
Stay tuned for:
- A new student-targeting marketing-and-communications campaign to ensure that all students planning to return to campus get vaccinated prior to the fall semester.
- A new campus-operations-focused webpage and tool kit to help prepare departments for a safe return.
