Pulp and Paper, Otto Maass Renovations

Published: 10 November 2010

Pulp and Paper Building renovations have begun and include:

Complete renovation of laboratories and washrooms on the second floor. Renovation of some laboratories in the basement to modernize the workspace. Renovation of some first floor offices and washrooms.

Some newly renovated washrooms will be wheelchair accessible.

Demolition at the Pulp and Paper Building is being done at night to minimize disruption to staff and students. Regular renovation hours are from 7am to 3pm.

Otto Maass Renovation Schedule

The renovations have necessitated complex asbestos abatement procedures, which we anticipate will result in a 6 to 8 week delay of the Otto Maass KIP renovation project.

The affected areas have been isolated. McGill has consulted with both the CSST and construction trade representatives to ensure safe handling of asbestos conditions. All abatement procedures are being carried out following strict protocols that are in accordance with industry and government standards.

Renovations are resuming in each affected sector upon completion of the asbestos abatement procedures.
