Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
The building has been teeming with work activity this week, and I’m pleased to share the following detailed report of the progress.
- The contractors continue remediation work addressing the mold behind the bookcases on the 4th floor. The Certified Industrial Hygienist (HC3) is in the process of performing clearance testing on the floor.
- The contractors also completed remediation work on the 3rd floor. HC3 is in the process of clearance testing that floor.
- The contractors began work on the 2nd floor on Thursday, May 19.
- Facilities, Environmental Health and Safety, Radon Professional Services, and the toxicologist continue to meet to discuss radon mitigation.
- HVAC service has been restored to the building. Intermittent local outages may still occur due to related work.
- Air handling unit design has been reviewed by Facilities, and identified concerns are being addressed.
- In room 442E, the fume hood and associated roof stack were removed, and the roof was sealed. The room has been cleaned. The walls were patched and painted, and the floor tile was replaced. New lighting and a new drop ceiling were being installed at the time of writing. We anticipate the new ceiling being done by the time this message reaches you.
- The purchase order has been initiated for additional structural analysis.
- The Senior Project Manager met with building representatives to perform a walk through to observe project progress and status.
We look forward to providing more updates next week as the volume of work activity in the space increases. Our top priority remains the health and safety of our campus community.
If you have questions that have not been addressed in one of my updates, on the Sandels Response website or in the FAQs, please email sandelsresponse@fsu.edu, and we will answer your individual questions to the best of our ability.
Best regards,
Jim Clark
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
