Visualizing UW's exam schedule by faculty

So my exam schedule is unfavourable. I have exactly two exams during the exam period: one on the first day and one on the last day. Great.

Can you now open the data like http://www.guardian.co.uk/open-platform or uwdata.ca does? I'm sure other people would love to do some nifty things with the data without having to copy and paste it from a pdf sloppily.

Yup, that one exam on the last day in the last slot - that's my exam.

I've now put up a second PDF using the official colours. However, I think it's ugly.
