Traveling to D.C.? Delta Hall is ready when you are
UGA faculty and staff traveling on official business to Washington, D.C., can stay in UGA’s Delta Hall, which has two guest rooms. Rates are $100/night for a standard hotel room and $150/night for a one-bedroom suite with kitchenette. These rooms cannot be used for personal travel. To inquire about reservations, contact Devon Gill in the Office of Government Relations at Devon.Gill@uga.edu.
Laboratory Recycling Update
When it comes to recycling, lab items are a “no go” in single-stream recycling bins. Wish-cycling of lab materials causes entire loads to be sent to the landfill. If you have laboratories within your facilities, the Office of Sustainability appreciates your help in spreading the word that no lab items are permitted in single-stream recycling bins on campus. For detailed information on how to responsibly dispose of many types of lab waste, visit the Green Labs website.
