REMINDER: SP Building: Interruption of the ventilation system in block A - November 9, 2024 (06:00 - 14:00)

To the users and occupants of the SP building,

A planned interruption of the ventilation systems in block A of the SP building is SCHEDULED for Saturday, 2024-11-09 at 06:00 and is expected to last for a maximum of 8 hours. This interruption will affect all rooms of bloc A and especially the labs : fume hoods will not be functional, and lab ventilation will not be working either. Ventilation will be interrupted for most of the announced period, but testing will occur during the later part of it, during which the ventilation might cycle on and off before returning to normal operation. As a result, fume hoods cannot be used until the work is completed at 14:00. 

This work is necessary for the replacement of an outdated Siemens control panel that feeds the main exhaust system for that block of the SP building (Project 22-078: Siemens panel replacement).
