缅北强奸

To members of the Faculty of Medicine,

As communicated Thursday, McIntyre Floors 7 and higher are now reopened for all faculty and staff members and students, accessible via the 6^th听floor Pine entrance. A few access听exceptions, as well as instructions about听fire and emergency evacuation routes,听are explained in听the July 26 update. Based on reports Friday,听temperatures had decreased by as much as 9掳C in some areas and continue to drop. Because certain rooms closer to the core of the building remain warm, instructions听were听given to move mobile AC units into these spaces.

On behalf of the Faculty, I would like听to听congratulate and extend our deep appreciation to the EOC and project leads and teams on this major milestone, achieved through incredible commitment and hard work. 缅北强奸 is very fortunate to have you on staff. While the situation remains very challenging for many, it is heartening to see this progress.

Further to Thursday鈥檚 update, please take听note听of听the following:

Access to Floors 7 and higher outside normal building hours:

If you intend to access Floors 7 and up outside of the McIntyre鈥檚 normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.), note that you will be asked to present your ID card听to on-site security staff. The one-hour protocol for Floor 1 remains in place.

Hazardous waste:

Hazardous waste management (HWM)听will reopen starting Monday, July 30, a.m.听To access HWM from Floors 7 to 13, please go the听7^th听floor and take the research link towards the Goodman Cancer Research Building.听From听there, take the elevator to the ground floor; at your right, you will find a corridor that will take you to the HWM drop-off area. If you do not have access to the听7^th听floor link, please submit a request听here.

Deliveries:

All deliveries can be received听at the McIntyre loading dock and transported to the 7^th听floor via the Goodman Cancer Research Centre听freight听elevator. Please refer to the above paragraph for directions.

Lab equipment and other damage:

We had communicated earlier that if labs incur damage, 缅北强奸 will support and reimburse the cost of repairs, along with losses of equipment and consumables, once the Risk Management and Insurance Office is made aware of what has been affected.听The Risk Management and Insurance team requires your assistance in compiling an inventory of significant scientific equipment in the building and identifying the concerns researchers may have in their immediate and future performance.

For those areas not exposed to soot on Floor 7 and up, labs have reopened. As you reintegrate, if there are further concerns of equipment performance due to this incident, lab members can also ask the supplier to inspect equipment for damage. You are asked to advise Risk Management of the need for this beforehand. If recalibration or other adjustments are deemed necessary, send a copy of the technician鈥檚 recommendation and estimate to the Risk Management and Insurance Office for approval at the email address directly below.

If you听have听questions about equipment or other damage in your lab, please contact听supportrisk.insurance [at] mcgill.ca.听They will provide you with an insurance claim form to help听you identify your losses.

6^th听floor and lower:

With the upper floors now open, the EOC is听concentrating efforts to finalize the听scope of work for the 6^th听floor and lower, prioritizing the 1^st听floor labs, the 5^th听and 6^th听floor amphitheatres and the 2^nd听floor cybermed classrooms听and small group rooms. The priority for the Osler Library is to move all books out.

While the main issue with the upper floors had to do with soot and smoke, water damage is the challenge on the lower floors. Ceilings and walls will need to be investigated for moisture. Areas where demolition and reconstruction will take place must remain physically isolated with barriers to avoid cross-contamination to other areas. The same applies to the听HVAC听system听serving these lower floors.

The EOC and project engineers are aiming to finalize a timeline for these floors by end of next week. In the case of the amphitheatres,听cybermed classrooms听and small group rooms, the hope is to implement viable solutions before August 21, when students will return onsite. That being said, these areas remain very challenging; therefore, contingency plans for academic activities (courses) are currently being developed centrally, with Faculty input, for these spaces, as well as for the 1^stfloor labs.

Non-course related events scheduled in 5^th听and 6^th听floor amphitheatres or 2^nd听floor cybermed space:

Important: If you have a non-course related event (e.g., conference, symposium, meeting, etc.) scheduled in the Palmer, Martin or Meakins Amphitheatres, or in the 2nd floor cybermed classrooms听or听small group rooms,听anytime in the coming weeks through to the end of October, we strongly recommend that you immediately begin exploring and reserving alternate space to minimize any last-minute disruptions to your events and participants.听As a starting point, you may email听permits.residences [at] mcgill.ca听to inquire about alternate space听on campus.

Questions:

If you have further questions, please be sure to email听buildingdirector [at] mcgill.ca.听Note that听frequently asked questions and answers听are available online.

Thank you, everyone, for your ongoing collaboration and understanding, and to the multitude of people working behind the scenes.

Sincerely,

David Eidelman, MDCM
