Where to Put What When Purging
You can find boxes for magazines and other recyclables that do not require shredding at the back of the mailroom (rm. 130); if no boxes are available, please bring your own. Filled boxes will be picked up periodically from the back of the mailroom. Materials must be boxed, no tied bundles or loose papers. Near the boxes are shredding bins, for file folders, journals and paper of all weights and colors. Paperclips, staples and binder clips need not be removed before shredding. The bins are on wheels and can be rolled to your location, but please return them to the mailroom by 4:30 p.m. each day.Please do not put the following items into the shredding bins: hard cover books, three-ring binders, wood, plastic, or large metal items. Continue to place newspapers in the blue bin by the elevator. Remove the contents from three-ring binders, which can go to SWAP. If you have papers with longer term value, see the UW Archives and Records Management website for information. If you have questions or furniture or other large items to purge, please contact Jonie Bonfield, facilities manager, 262-0017, jbonfield@wisc.edu.

Purging Tips
•Stay Focused – this is time for weeding, not reading: Don’t unwrap magazines, journals or other printed material – if you haven’t read it by now, throw it away!•Did you remember you had it before now? If not, it’s time to toss or take home.
•Once you toss it, don’t retrieve it from the trash unless it’s cash!
•Calendars/date books: Create your own retention policy (i.e. current year plus last two) unless you have it electronically, in which case it’s a candidate for recycling.
Ask yourself three questions when sorting and purging:
1. Did you remember you had it before now?
2. If you toss it, could you find it again from another source?
3. If you decide to keep it, would you know where to find it?

Pre June 2009 Updates
Second Public Hearing on Environmental Impact Statement
2009 — A public meeting to present the release of the second Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Human Ecology addition and renovation project will be held by representatives of UW-Madison; Human Ecology; UW-System Administration, the Division of State Facilities; Ayres Associates; and the A/E design team at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, in rm. 132 of the WARF Building at 610 N. Walnut St. Free parking is available after 5:00 p.m. in the adjacent parking lot. A brief description of the project and potential impacts will be presented. Attendees will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to identify both orally and in writing any issues or concerns they believe should be addressed in the Final EIS for this proposed project.
The proposed project will construct an addition to and renovate the original Human Ecology Building including: (1) removal of two facilities--the existing Preschool Laboratory and Human Development and Family Studies Building; (2) new underground parking beneath the building addition that will provide 41 stalls; (3) construction of an approximately 54,990 ASF/81,775 GSF addition to the SoHE building and associated utility work; and (4) subsequent renovation of the existing 74,000 GSF SoHE building.
The Division of State Facilities retained Ayres Associates to prepare an EIS for the proposed project in accordance with sec. 1.11 Wis. Stats., relating to the Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act (WEPA). The intent of the EIS process is to identify the potential positive and negative impacts of the project to the physical, biological, social, and economic environments.
The second Draft EIS is available for a 45-day public review and comment period beginning May 12 and ending Jun. 26. Comments and inquiries raised during this comment period will be used to develop the Final EIS, which will be circulated to the public and commenting agencies for a subsequent 30-day review period and public hearing. Following the public hearing, the University of Wisconsin System develops a conclusion on the findings of the EIS. This Record of Decision is circulated to key individuals and agencies involved in the EIS process.
Copies of the second draft EIS are available at the UW-Madison Helen C. White Library and City of Madison Public Library (Central Location) and online at www.ayresprojectinfo.com/UW-sohe. Comments can be submitted until Jun. 26.
Please send comments to: Ms. Kathleen Melland, Environmental Scientist, Ayres Associates, 1802 Pankratz St., Madison, WI 53704-4069. Comment forms can also be obtained via the project website.
Shredding and Recycling Contest: Apr. 30, May 6
2009 — Would you like an extra inducement to clean your office? Purging unneeded paper is an important step in preparing for our relocation. To support our efforts, a Shredding and Recycling Contest will run through Apr. 30, 2009. If you would like to participate, please weigh and track the number of pounds of paper you have placed into the shredding and recycling bins through Apr. 30. Then, e-mail Liv Lindenberg, llindenberg@wisc.edu, or Jonie Bonfield, jbonfield@wisc.edu, a note by Friday, May 1, reporting the number of pounds of papers you have placed into these bins.
The individual with the highest tally will be named at a Shredding Contest Reception beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6 in rm. 178. Ice cream will be served! The winner will receive an iPod Shuffle. All participants will get a cleaner, more efficient work space.
Relocation Space: Tours and Timing
2009 — Many Human Ecology faculty and staff have been asking about opportunities to check out their assigned temporary spaces during our upcoming construction project.
Sterling Hall remains under "hard-hat" construction. We are working with Space Management to identify dates when small groups can schedule a walk-though of their assigned space in Sterling.
The Division of Continuing Studies is scheduled to move out of the third floor of the Middleton Library on Apr. 13. After that date we will be able to tour the space at any time.
For those assigned to University Health Services, space visits will be scheduled over the next three weeks.
Please contact Linda Zwicker at lazwicker@wisc.edu if you have questions or need more information.
What Will Fit into 110 Square Feet?
2009 — Many offices in our relocation space will average between 110 square feet and 145 square feet. To help us gauge the size of a typical office, John Hilgers and his student workers have taped a 110-square-foot outline on the floor in the northwest corner of rm. 178. It indicates space for a door to swing open and contains a box the size of a mini fridge, a cardboard sheet cut to the size of an open file drawer, and other helpful tools.
