Scope & Impact

Over the fall, crews will be inspecting all DES-owned and managed buildings and infrastructure on the Capitol Campus and throughout the state to evaluate facility condition and maintenance needs, including physical accessibility barriers and seismic condition.

During the work, crews will be visible moving in buildings, including roofs, basements, office spaces, and exteriors. The inspections will not disrupt normal business. DES will share updates with building tenants as needed.

When

Beginning Sept. 11, work will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

For the week of Sept. 11-15, work will take place in the 1007 Washington Street Building in Olympia.

The schedule is subject to change as work progresses.
