Scope of work:

  • Partially renovate laboratory MS3-025, including lab bench modifications, electrical installations, and ventilation adjustments will be completed, along with flooring and wall repairs.
  • There will be minor repairs made to lab counters in MS3-056.

Impact & mitigation:

  • MS3-025 Lab access changes:
    • An enclosure will be built in MS3-025 leaving access to the refrigerators for the users. Please note that the primary entry point for the remainder of MS3-025 will be from MS3-017.
  • Temporary dust enclosures for electrical work:
    • Dust enclosures will be installed in MS3-026, MS3-024, and MS3-022 to allow the contractor to safely run electrical conduits. These temporary enclosures may affect movement within these areas. These enclosures will only be required for a few days and will be coordinated with the users in advance.
  • Service shutdowns:
    • Minor electrical or ventilation service shutdowns may be required. Occupants and users of affected buildings and rooms will be informed in advance.

Safety considerations:

The project includes demolition work that will disrupt materials containing silica and asbestos. All applicable safety protocols will be put in place. The safety protocols include dust-containment methods such as setting up enclosures to isolate the work area and putting it under negative pressure, as well as using specialized vacuuming equipment. It will also include cleaning and regular inspections.
