Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
The health and safety of our campus community remain our top priority.
As we continue to address concerns, the following activities have taken place since my last update:
- New carpet installation and wall repairs are in progress on the fourth floor. Work is expected to be complete by the end of next week.
- Installation of new carpet in Suite 207 is complete. The remaining new carpet for the second floor is scheduled to ship the week of August 15 due to supply chain issues.
- The schedule for the new carpet installation on the third floor is currently being adjusted to accommodate an increase in the scope of work, as the flooring adhesives have been identified for abatement by Environmental Health and Safety.
- The basement slab moisture testing is complete and the new flooring materials have been identified. Installation will be concurrent with the radon mitigation work.
- The piping for the radon mitigation project has been delivered to the site. Installation will begin by early next week.
- At the department’s request, the wall cabinets and bookcases have been removed from the northeast administrative offices on the third and fourth floors. Mold testing and analysis are in progress. Investigation for the presence of moisture in the Dean’s suite on the second floor will begin next.
- A meeting with the construction manager and the fume hood vendor/installer took place to coordinate and advance the detailed plan of construction activities on the fourth floor.
- A plan to upgrade the restrooms throughout the building is being developed by Campus Design.
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.
