The room had been closed due to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.</p> <p>The air sample taken in the room shortly after the closure returned a result under the regulatory threshold for asbestos concentration and ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ’s more stringent threshold. Additionally, debris of a ceiling tile found in the room tested negative for asbestos.</p> Thu, 15 Feb 2024 14:37:24 +0000 nienke.broekstra@mcgill.ca 1675 at /facilities /facilities/channels/news/feb-8-auditorium-236-sad-remains-closed-355314 <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> Thu, 08 Feb 2024 20:49:46 +0000 nienke.broekstra@mcgill.ca 1672 at /facilities
