by Bev Godard 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Starting Aug 23rd and running until Sept 3rd the contractors will be doing the work in room 210. The first week will be all the work related with the install of the new exhaust hood for the autoclave, the second week will be the window replacement. Also starting August 23rd they will be grinding the concrete on the exterior of the building to prep it to receive the new horizontal siding. This work may produce a bit of noise inside the building but I have been told it will not be loud.
