Drain Replacements (West Wing / Dean’s Suite)
Mobilization Start Date: Saturday, April 25th 7am to 3pm
Duration: The project will run through May–August 2026
Following prior communications and coordination with our contractor (Wagner), we have scheduled roof access this Saturday, April 18, 2026, to begin drain replacement work. This effort is time-sensitive and is being advanced now to ensure completion ahead of the peak rainy season, which is critical to maintaining building integrity and avoiding potential disruptions later in the project.
- Location: West wing of the roof (above the Dean’s Suite)
- Duration: Approximately 8 hours (daytime work window)
- Activity: Replacement of select roof drains (targeting ~10 drains per day)
- Initial focus areas:
- Saturday, April 17th 7am to 3pm Drains 11–14, 16–21, and 25–26
- Saturday, April 25th 7am to 3pm Drains: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 22
We recognize that certain research activities are noise-sensitive. If there are ongoing experiments that may be impacted, the drain replacement work can be coordinated and, if necessary, rescheduled to an alternate weekend.
This early-phase work is a key step in ensuring that the broader roof replacement project proceeds efficiently and with fewer risks during the summer months. Your flexibility and partnership are greatly appreciated as we work to protect the facility and support ongoing research operations.
