Ventilation and occupancy
If you are planning to visit the Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation and are uncertain about whether you should wear a mask, please know that Chapman Hall, where our Sunday services take place, benefits from full ventilation.
Please also be aware that there are certain areas within our building that have limited or no mechanical ventilation. To address this, we have installed air purifiers in many of these spaces. You can see the rooms with limited or no ventilation on the Occupancy and Ventilation table below. Those rooms will have an “asterisk” or “&” symbol on them. To avoid passing on the virus, rooms with those symbols indicate that people must open windows and/or turn on the air purifier.
We have also the POSTED OCCUPANCY and VENTILATION guidelines on the doors to provide users with information about recommended practices. Any questions, please ask the Covid Advisory Team
