SUBJECT: Wean Hall Exhaust Upgrades Project – Discussion Meeting 11/19

 

Campus Design & Facility Development (CDFD) is working with Facilities Management & Campus Services(FMCS) on the Wean Hall Exhaust Upgrades Project this Fall. The project scope includes replacing the laboratory exhaust fans at Wean Hall with a new system.

 

This project entails erecting a crane at the hairpin turn of Hamerschlag Drive in order to lift the supporting steel structure and the mechanical equipment.

 

The following will be affected during this work:

  1. Access to the CIC and Gates Garage will be closed on 11/30 and 12/4 , when the crane is being assembled on site and dis-assembled, respectively.
  2. Parking along Hamerschlag Drive will be restricted due to crane operations.
  3. Due to the swing of the crane during operations, the Newell Simon Bridge will be closed for pedestrian access from 11/30 – 12/4. Please plan your access between Wean and Gates through the main access – through the cut and the mall.
  4. Please note that due to the swing of the crane we recommend that the following rooms on the 8th floor of Wean Hall remain unoccupied during the week of 11/30. ( Attached Wean 8th Floor Floorplan)

 

There will be a ZOOM meeting on Thursday, 11/19, at 11:00AM to discuss the details of this project. 

 

Please send an email to Shannon Wetzel at swetzel@andrew.cmu.edu if you would like to be invited to this meeting.
