Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
Thank you for your continued engagement with these weekly updates. The health and safety of the campus community remains our top priority, and I’m pleased to share ongoing progress of the Sandels Building.
Here are this week’s updates:
- Mold remediation clearances for all floors have been received from the certified industrial hygienist (HC3). All floors are ready for additional renovation activities.
- It was determined that the carpet in all areas of the building will be replaced as part of an upcoming construction project. In the interim, the carpet in Suite 207 will undergo a microbial carpet cleaning and subsequent testing.
- The flooring of the basement was removed, and work continues. The scientific freezer will be moved temporarily to complete work in the area.
- The project manager has made the recommendation to accept the engineer’s design of Air Handling Unit 6 and to move forward with the procurement of the equipment. Approval by Facilities administration is pending.
- An unrelated mechanical failure in the fan shaft of the Air Handling Unit serving the third floor left the area without HVAC. Temporary accommodations have been provided for the Costume Shop and Textile Lab. The existing shaft has been repaired to allow for temporary cooling of the floor. New parts are being ordered by Maintenance and are anticipated to be available to install in approximately three weeks.
- A purchase order has been executed to Radon Professional Services of Jacksonville Beach for mitigation services in the basement.
As always, 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
