I’m pleased to share this week’s update with you on the work to address concerns regarding the Sandels Building.
The following progress has taken place since my previous update:
- Moisture testing is being ordered for the basement slab. A proposed testing strategy has been presented to the project manager and, subsequently, forwarded to the Certified Industrial Hygienist (HC3) for review.
- The construction manager has been working in the building to develop costs and review scope of the wall reconstruction with potential subcontractors.
- The project manager met with the radon mitigation contractor and the construction manager on June 29 to coordinate expediting the radon mitigation services. The construction manager is anticipated to assist with the slab core drilling and provision of required additional electrical service.
- A meeting with impacted stakeholders has been set for Wednesday, July 6, to review occupancy of the fourth-floor labs during the upcoming fume hood replacement.
Over the past several weeks, Facilities, Environmental Health and Safety, University Administration, and our environmental experts have been meeting with Interim Dean Andrew to update him on the details and progress related to the Sandels Building project. I truly appreciate Dean Andrew’s leadership during this time of transition for the college. He shares my top priority to provide a safe building environment and ensure the facility is available for the fall semester.
