Time: 6:00 am – 2:00 pm

Impact: All sinks, including lab sinks, will not have hot water available during the mentioned dates and times. All emergency shower/eyewash stations in the building will be out of service during the repair.

Safety Impact: There will be no domestic water to the emergency showers/eye wash stations. During this time, laboratory personnel are not to work with corrosive chemicals, cause permanent tissue damage or severe irritation, or be toxic by skin/eye absorption, or engage in any BSL-2 work that is not in a biosafety cabinet.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me.
