Important message from Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Jim Clark and Vice President for Finance and Administration Kyle Clark regarding the Sandels Building

Dear students, faculty and staff,

As you may know or have recently seen in the media, the university is conducting a thorough environmental review of the Sandels Building due to health and safety concerns raised by faculty working there. The building has been temporarily closed while we continue to gather information and determine our next course of action. All of the occupants have been notified and courses assigned to the Sandels Building this term are being relocated for the rest of the semester.

We understand that this may raise questions from you about the campus buildings where you live, work or attend class. At this time, there is no evidence of a systemic issue.

However, if you have a safety or environmental concern, please submit it at https://safety.fsu.edu/contact/ and qualified university staff will evaluate each case and remediate as needed.

Please know that the health and safety of the campus community is the university’s top priority, and we will make every effort to address your concerns.

Sincerely,

Jim Clark
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

Kyle Clark
Vice President for Finance and Administration
