Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
I’m pleased to share a progress report on work performed this week to address concerns regarding the Sandels Building.
Here are the latest updates on the project:
- All mold remediation has been completed by the external licensed independent contractor. The certified industrial hygienist (HC3) has recommended proceeding with work to reconstruct the affected spaces. A final report summarizing remediation work and documenting clearances is expected to be received the week of June 10.
- HC3 is testing samples of the carpet in Room 207. We are working on plans to replace all carpet on the second, third and fourth floors.
- The FSU project manager is coordinating relocation of the scientific freezer to further facilitate work in the basement.
- A proposed contract for active soil depressurization and radon gas reduction has been received.
- In preparation for re-roofing, material samples were extracted June 1 for routine testing. Patching of the roof is complete, and sample analysis should be available by about June 10.
- A purchase order has been issued for six new fume hoods that will be installed as part of the Phase 1 renovation.
- Review of the proposed air handling unit (AHU) design for the fourth floor has been completed by FSU Building Inspection.
- Administration has approved use of a construction manager for upcoming reconstruction. Mad Dog Construction will be providing construction services.
The health and safety of our campus community remains our top priority. Please continue to review these weekly updates for additional information as the project progresses.
