Landscape department to remove trees
This is a guest post from Facilities & Campus Services:
The landscape department in Facilities & Campus Services will remove five trees that are in decline at various locations (click on map) around campus and one magnolia tree near Parking Lot S to establish a sidewalk. Lot S is located at the corner of Wake Forest Road and Faculty Drive, next to the Reynolda Walking Trail.
We will do this work the week of July 4. The removal of these trees was approved by the Univesity’s Tree Advisory Committee in April of 2016. We do not anticipate any pedestrian or vehicular issues. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions, please contact Jim Coffey at 336-758-6070.

Custodians win awards
The custodial department at Wake Forest took home two awards from the national OS1 Symposium held in New Orleans on Aug. 6. The Simon Institute, a nonprofit organization that supports the cleaning industry, awarded Best Cleaning Quality Improvement and Certification Program to the Wake Forest team.
The awards come in the third year of Wake Forest’s transition to a new cleaning management system called OS1, which provides a higher level of cleanliness and better accountability in cleaning buildings. About half the University has transitioned to this system, including most of the academic buildings.
Also, six WFU custodians were recognized with Outstanding Cleaning Worker awards.
Please congratulate:
• Myrtle Farabee
• Susie Hardwick
• Charles Nicholson
• Ederman Palaez de Herrera
• Gary Samuels
• Michael Woodard

Vote for new campus signage
One sign of the changes occurring on campus is that the University is considering changing the campus signs.
A campus signage committee has been studying new signage for the last year. The current signs were installed in late 1989.
“The current signs satisfied the need 20 years ago, but the committee is looking at what the needs are today and how to provide better ‘wayfinding’ around campus for vehicles and pedestrians,” said Jim Coffey, director of landscaping services and a member of the committee.
The committee has identified two possible designs for new signage and would like community input, Coffey said. No timetable or funding has been approved for new signage yet.
Concept A has a gold and black color scheme and iron supports that tie in to the original wrought iron detail on campus buildings.
Concept B has a curved bevel edge, clear contrasting lettering, and solid round anchor posts.
View the signs here and vote for your favorite.
