Update from Provost Jim Clark on Sandels Building

Dear Sandels Building Colleagues and Students,

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we continue our work in the Sandels Building.

Here is an update of this week’s progress:

  • Recent demolition of cabinetry and environmental chamber in the basement revealed wet drywall and additional mold, which required remediation. The drywall has been removed and remediation in the area is almost complete. The industrial hygienist, HC3, is scheduled to inspect the area today, Dec. 9, to ensure that cleaning and remediation efforts have been successful. 
  • Pricing for replacing first-floor carpet has been received, and work is anticipated to take place after work hours in early January. 
  • Cleaning of carpet splattered during the removal of wax is being scheduled to take place during winter break.
  • The department has vacated the areas on the fourth floor affected by the upcoming AHU and fume hood replacements project. The contractor is scheduled to begin work during winter break, and the project duration is anticipated to be 10 months.
  • Documents to complete the emergency generator upgrades and documents to upgrade the restrooms are all due to be submitted to Facilities for permitting next week.

Please note that work areas are under the control of the contractor. We’d like to remind the remaining building occupants not to access construction areas without prior approval due to OSHA requirements.

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
