Renovation/infrastructure update
After a successful electrical shutdown last weekend, the renovated labs in WB are almost complete and we'll be starting up AHU 5 and 6 soon. As the labs go through their final inspection for approval for occupancy, it is very important that nobody enter the renovated labs (WB103, 233, 319/324/325) and the mechanical rooms on the 4th level without an escort from the contractor (Dineen Construction) or our U of T lead (Melissa Lao).
