To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,

As previously communicated, as of last Friday McIntyre Floors 7 and higher were reopened for all faculty and staff members and students, accessible via the 6^th听floor Pine entrance. With three of the four ventilation systems servicing this area of the building returning to operation, temperatures on these floors continued to drop over the weekend and are now within their normal range, with the exception of small pockets of warmer areas that are serviced by the one HVAC system that remains to be cleaned.

On behalf of the Faculty, I would like to once again reiterate our appreciation to the team of hundreds who have been working around the clock over the past two weeks, as well as to the building鈥檚 occupants for their ongoing collaboration in ensuring that activities in the building are restored in a timely, safe and secure manner.

Please take note of the following updates:

Building access:

Note that while Floors 7 and up are now accessible to all during regular hours, for those wishing to access the building during off-hours where sign-in is required,听they听must have already had access during these times in order to be permitted to enter.

Teaching space:

The working group looking at contingency plans for teaching space听met听today, and will continue working to听identify听alternative locations for teaching activities in the event that听some McIntyre teaching areas听remain inaccessible when students return on August 21.

Non-course-related events scheduled in 5th听and 6th听floor amphitheatres or 2nd听floor cybermed space:

Important reminder:听If you have a conference, symposium, meeting, etc. scheduled听between now and听the end of October in the Palmer, Martin or Meakins Amphitheatres,听or in the 2nd-floor cybermed classrooms听or听small group rooms, we strongly recommend that you immediately reserve alternative spaces, in the event that these rooms are not ready in time to accommodate you.听As a starting point, you may email听permits.residences [at] mcgill.ca听to inquire about alternative听spaces听on campus.

1st floor laboratories:

The status of the labs located on the 1^st floor of the building continue to be assessed with respect to ventilation, water damage, etc. More details are expected in the coming days; this information should provide insight into how long these labs will remain disrupted.

Next update:

Barring unforeseen news, we do not听expect听to issue another update until the end of the week.

Questions:

If you have further questions, please听feel free听to email听buildingdirector [at] mcgill.ca.听Note that answers to听frequently asked questions听are available online, and please refer to听Saturday鈥檚 update for further information on deliveries, hazardous waste,听taking inventory of lab equipment for insurance purposes, etc.听

Thank you again to everyone for your ongoing collaboration and understanding.

Sincerely,

David Eidelman, MDCM
