Based on the latest information received from our external service provider, we should be able to reopen auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building by Thursday morning, February 22, as announced last week.
This will be our last update, unless an unexpected issue arises that forces us to delay the reopening. Should this occur, we will inform you as soon as possible.
As we mentioned in our Feb. 14 message, samples of building materials were collected in the ceiling cavity of auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building earlier this week. We are glad to report that all samples tested negative for asbestos.
We have received some good news since we wrote to you last week about the closure of auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The room had been closed due to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.
The air sample taken in the room shortly after the closure returned a result under the regulatory threshold for asbestos concentration and 缅北强奸鈥檚 more stringent threshold. Additionally, debris of a ceiling tile found in the room tested negative for asbestos.
On February 5, 2024, Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) closed access to auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The closure is related to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.
FMAS is assessing the work required before we can reopen the classroom. This evaluation was complicated by the need to bring in scaffolding to access the ceiling. We hope to have a clearer picture of the work needed and the timeline to reopen in the coming days and will update you as soon as we do.
