Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,
I hope this message finds everyone well as work continues in the Sandels building.
The following progress has taken place since my previous update:
- The lift equipment is on site for the Dean’s suite envelope repair, and the construction manager is preparing for masonry wall waterproofing. The goal is to finish the repairs by the end of the week. After completion, the industrial hygienist will perform testing to ensure there is no moisture intrusion. Once cleared, work will begin on interior wall finishes and carpet. A target date for re-occupancy has been set for Nov. 18.
- Facilities is coordinating the next phase of work on the fourth floor, including move-in and installation of new HVAC equipment. This phase requires some shutdown of building systems, and the downstream effects are being carefully reviewed for impact on occupants and academic activities.
- Meetings are being scheduled to coordinate the installation of a new roof system with other previously planned building construction.
- Facilities Maintenance worked to repair the concrete floor slab in the second-floor kitchen. The kitchen cabinetry will be reinstalled upon satisfactory curing of the slab. Repairs to other building finishes, including the wall base and bathroom ceilings damaged by the recent plumbing issue, are anticipated for the week of Oct. 31.
