SUBJECT: Wean Hall Laboratory Supply Air Shutdown – Discussion Meeting 5/20 1PM

 

In an ongoing effort to make necessary infrastructure upgrades, CDFD and FMCS working with our mechanical contracting team, need to plan an 8-12 hour shutdown of the Wean Hall laboratory supply air system.  The shutdown will only affect the interior lab spaces of the 300 and 400 wings on floors 1 through 8.  Service to the perimeter offices within the 300 and 400 wings will not be affected.  The shutdown is necessary to replace dampers that are original to the building’s construction.  During the shutdown, the ventilation air and air-conditioning will be OFF.  The laboratory exhaust system, the serving fume hoods and general exhaust will remain operational at 10-20% capacity to maintain some airflow through the fume hoods.

 

Potential dates of this shutdown are Thursday, 6/2, or any day the following week.

 

There will be a ZOOM meeting on Friday, 5/20, at 1PM to discuss the details of the shutdown and to answer any questions.

 

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