Plaza Deck project mobilization begins today
Plaza Deck project mobilization begins today
The contractor will begin mobilizing and setting up fencing for the Plaza Deck project today, Monday, July 1.
An area north of the Tech Hub will be fenced in for staging. Much of the area above the garage/underground loading docks (adjacent to the Library, Tech Hub and Engineering Building) will be fenced and demolition will begin.
The pedestrian ramp adjacent to the Engineering Building will be taken offline permanently.
The east entrance to the Library, off the Plaza Deck, will be closed through Thursday, Aug. 15, except for emergency access. After that, half of the entry will be blocked at various times. The Tech Hub south stair exit to the Plaza Deck will also be closed except for emergency access during this same period. Signage will be posted in buildings to indicate closures and redirect traffic.
Once demolition is complete, temporary walks will be in place for the start of the fall semester. Beginning Monday, July 8, to Monday, July 29, during working hours (generally 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m.), access to the parking area between the Library and Engineering Building will be one lane only so the contractor can safely remove materials from the Plaza Deck. This drive and associated parking will be fully closed from July 29-Aug. 9 when the pedestrian ramp is removed.
This map shows the initial work area. Note that this project will have several phases/work areas that will change throughout the project. Notices will be sent when changes occur. Contact Lisa Sklener with any questions at lsklener@binghamton.edu or 607-759-8276.For More Information:

All e-transportation devices on campus must be registered
All e-transportation devices on campus must be registered
Lithium-ion batteries are found in many consumer e-transportation devices due to their small size, power output and versatility. Binghamton University is heavily invested in researching emerging energy storage technology related to Li-ion batteries. While our researchers are busy creating future energy solutions, consumer-grade lithium batteries are plentiful and present hazards that must be managed for the safety of all campus community members.
All e-transportation devices powered by a lithium-ion battery such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-hoverboards brought to, stored or charged on campus must be registered. There is no fee to do so, and the process is simple. Note that you will need to provide photos of each device and battery. You can access the registration form via phone or computer at the link below. This registration does not apply to battery-operated devices such as — but not limited to — laptops, desktop computers, iPads, tablets, cell phones, ADA Mobility Devices, etc.
Binghamton University has established several safety guidelines for e-transportation users. To learn more about the policy, go to: https://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/policy-422.html

Call for Applications: 2024-25 I-GMAP Faculty Fellows
Call for Applications: 2024-25 I-GMAP Faculty Fellows
The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) is currently accepting applications for its 2024-25 cohort of Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellows in Atrocity Prevention.
The upcoming program runs from September 2024 through April 2025 (excluding winter intercession), primarily in an online and asynchronous format, with synchronous meetings at the start and finish of the program, and successful completion of the fellowship comes with a financial award. Faculty members from any U.S. college or university and from any and all disciplines and professional fields are eligible to become Fellows.
I-GMAP takes a broad view of prevention—one that extends far beyond crisis management or intervention in the face of mass killing. Prevention includes strategies that can reduce the likelihood of violence before it starts, mitigate harm and motivate an end to conflicts once they begin, and rebuild in the aftermath of atrocities. Effective prevention encompasses all fields and professions – from humanities and social sciences, through the physical sciences and technical fields, and everything in between – and it takes a variety of forms.

"Bilingual and Stutter? We Need Your Insights!" study
"Bilingual and Stutter? We Need Your Insights!" study
Are you bilingual and have experience with stuttering? Participate in this Binghamton study today. Learn more at the link below.
Participants will be asked to complete a comprehensive survey exploring the experiences of bilingual speakers who stutter, covering aspects such as language use, communication experiences and perceptions of stuttering across different contexts. All questions on the survey are mandatory to ensure thorough data collection, though you have the option to skip questions you are uncomfortable answering.
Time commitment will be no more than 15 minutes; participation will lead to improved clinical practices, enhanced educational resources and increased awareness among healthcare professionals, educators and support networks about the unique needs and challenges faced by this population. Ultimately, the findings from the study have the potential to benefit not only individuals who stutter but also their families, communities and the broader society by promoting inclusivity and facilitating better support systems for linguistic diversity within the stuttering community.
