Cal Poly is illuminating some of its buildings and landmarks in blue light starting Friday as a way to recognize and thank healthcare workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Performing Arts Center and Recreation Center, which has been converted to use as the county’s alternate care site, both are getting the special treatment, along with the university’s Grand Avenue entrance.
The Poly “P” also has been painted blue in honor of healthcare workers and other essential employees.
“The lights also symbolize appreciation for everyone who helped prepare the county’s alternate care site at the ASI Recreation Center on campus; the more than 600 community medical volunteers who are signed up and trained to run the ACS if it’s ever needed to treat COVID-19 patients; and about 50 additional county personnel who work occasionally at the ACS or perform an administrative function,” the university said in a news release.
The “Light It Blue to Thank You” effort will last through May 31.
