Based on the latest information received from our external service provider, we should be able to reopen auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building by Thursday morning, February 22, as announced last week.

This will be our last update, unless an unexpected issue arises that forces us to delay the reopening. Should this occur, we will inform you as soon as possible.

We have received some good news since we wrote to you last week about the closure of auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The room had been closed due to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.

The air sample taken in the room shortly after the closure returned a result under the regulatory threshold for asbestos concentration and McGill’s more stringent threshold. Additionally, debris of a ceiling tile found in the room tested negative for asbestos.

On February 5, 2024, Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) closed access to auditorium 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. The closure is related to a report of multiple missing ceiling tiles and the presence of dust and debris in the room.

FMAS is assessing the work required before we can reopen the classroom. This evaluation was complicated by the need to bring in scaffolding to access the ceiling. We hope to have a clearer picture of the work needed and the timeline to reopen in the coming days and will update you as soon as we do.

Original message was sent on February 7, 2024.

As we communicated on January 19 and 25, Moyse Hall and certain connected areas are closed following the discovery of plaster debris that tested positive for asbestos.

The assessment of the repair and cleanup work required was slowed down last week after a visual inspection raised concerns about the structural integrity of the catwalk located above the stage. A structural engineer was brought in and has now confirmed that the structure is sound.

As we communicated on January 19, we closed Moyse Hall and connected areas following the discovery of plaster debris that tested positive for asbestos. We are continuing our assessment to better understand the extent of the remediation work that will be required.

This assessment involves inspecting each space to examine the condition of the walls, ceilings and floors. It also includes further testing to get a more comprehensive account of the presence of asbestos in building materials.

Facilities Management and Ancillary Services (FMAS) has closed several spaces in Moyse Hall following the discovery of plaster debris that has tested positive for asbestos. The debris tested was found in the back of the stage (room 165A). Until further notice, no one may access room 165A nor the adjoining spaces (165, 165C and 100) unless authorized by FMAS. Out of an abundance of caution, we have also closed the section of basement of the McCall MacBain Arts Building located directly beneath the theatre.

Researchers propose a new model for classifying Parkinson’s

 

One of the things that makes developing effective treatments for Parkinson’s disease so challenging is its complexity. While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson’s is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.
