Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
I hope you all have had an excellent first week of the summer semester.
This week’s update includes information that may affect individuals accessing the building. Please note and plan accordingly.
- Earlier this week, the certified industrial hygienist (HC3), certified toxicologist, and the certified third-party contractor specializing in environmental remediation met about the initiation of work along the north wall of the building. Work will begin on the 4th floor, followed by the 3rd floor, 2nd floor and basement, pending the relocation of the weight equipment.
- There will be no access for the building occupants to any active work areas. Signage will be posted directing foot traffic away from the active work area to ensure everyone’s safety. We ask that individuals access the research labs through doors outside the construction area, if possible.
- The following rooms on the north wall of the 4th floor are part of next week’s active work zone beginning Monday, May 16:
S0402, 0402, 0408, 0410, 0416, 0418, 0420, 0422, 0424,
0426, 0428, 0430, 0432, 0434, 0436, 0436C, 0436, 0436B - Building occupants may continue to access rooms along the south side of the hallway.
- The following rooms on the north wall of the 4th floor are part of next week’s active work zone beginning Monday, May 16:
- The contractor expects to start on the 3rd floor work zone next week, establishing containment barriers Wednesday, and likely beginning remediation on Thursday, May 19.
- HC3 will schedule clearance testing as each floor is completed. The contractors must leave containment barriers in place until cleared by HC3
- After the basement mold remediation is completed and cleared by HC3, the work oversight will be turned over the contractor to remediate the carpet adhesive.
- Testing is being ordered to determine the source of carpet odors identified in Room 207.
Once again, I appreciate your patience and assure you that the health and safety of the campus community remains our top priority.
