Please enter <b>concerns, observations, or notes about conditions in Marley and other buildings
</b>on the spreadsheet present in that Box (see Infrastructure and support). Please note: the spreadsheet should serve as a log and should
<i>follow</i> any emergency reports or FM reports that you make, or discussions you might have with building managers. That is, listing concerns on the log
<i>cannot</i> take the place of such reports and will not initiate them. Instead, the log will help us know how many, and what kinds of, calls/concerns/reports are happening. These do not flow through unit- or College channels and often happen in parallel,
resulting in a lack of systematic information. For now I ask that we receive reports from faculty for consistency of reporting and contacts, but we can broaden this as needed and move the spreadsheet accordingly. We are still figuring out Box permissions,
but it should be possible to click on the three dots to the right of the file name and to open with Google Sheets to add your information.</div>
