Building notifications
Each building on campus has an occupant email list managed by Facilities Services, with automated subscription through Workday.
If you are an employee of the University and Workday lists your office location in a particular building on campus, you are automatically subscribed to that building's notification list. This list does not have an "unsubscribe" option, as it is a mandatory channel of communication for health and safety on campus. Subscribed occupants of a building will be notified by email if they could possibly be impacted or inconvenienced by any of the following situations:
- Outage notices (unplanned loss of power, etc.)
- Utility shutdowns (electrical, water, air conditioning or heating, etc.)
- Required monthly shutdown tests (View building schedule.)
- Parking and roadway closures or partial closures
- Maintenance efforts
- Construction projects (with associated odors, excessive noise, entrance closures or barricaded areas)
- Hazardous materials abatement
- Other situations impacting faculty, staff and students
Information about building notifications
University of Nevada, Reno employees
Please check Workday to ensure that your office location "Work Space" is listed accurately. If you are listed in the wrong building, or no building at all, please contact your supervisor. They will need to update your office information in Workday. You cannot update your own employee location information in Workday. If everything looks correct, and you are still not receiving notices, please contact us by email.
Non-University of Nevada, Reno staff
Please contact us by email about your notification needs.
University of Nevada, Reno employees
Please check Workday to ensure that your office location "Work Space" is listed accurately. If it is correct and you are still receiving notices to the wrong building, please contact us by email. Otherwise, to have your name removed from a building list, your supervisor will have to update your employee location information in Workday. If you recently left employment at the University, you may have to wait while HR processes closing your information out of Workday. Once that is complete, your building subscription will be canceled.
Non-University of Nevada, Reno staff
If you are receiving notices and want to be removed from a building list, please contact us by email.
Please first check to ensure that your Workday "Work Space" location is listed accurately. Your listed Work Space location will automatically subscribe you to that particular building.
For the secondary building(s) you wish to be subscribed to, please contact us by email. To unsubscribe from these secondary buildings later, you'll need to request that via email as well.
The Employee Self Service System (ESS) system no longer is the primary source of employee directory information. Workday now contains all current directory information and employee office information must be updated by the employee's supervisor on Workday.
