Update from Provost Jim Clark on Sandels Building

Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,

With the health and safety of our campus community as a top priority, I’m pleased to share this week’s progress report on the work to address concerns regarding the Sandels Building.

Here are the latest updates on the project:

  • Facilities, Environmental Health and Safety, University Administration, and our environmental experts met with Interim Dean Andrew to update him on the details and progress related to the Sandels Building project.
  • The basement slab moisture tests have been installed and completed. Final flooring decisions were completed for the basement.
  • The purchase order has been issued for replacement of the drywall partitions removed during mold remediation.
  • The radon mitigation materials for soil depressurization have arrived and coring is anticipated to begin within the next week. Radon Professional Services (RPS) and Mad Dog Construction are continuing to coordinate with the structural engineer.
  • Clearances have been achieved in rooms 228, 236, 238, 240, and 304.
  • The project manager continues to coordinate with the building users and will be setting up individual meetings with the researchers to review their specific lab needs during the fume hood replacement construction. The meetings are anticipated to occur the week of July 18.

If you have questions that have not been addressed in an update, 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
