Allan Rosenfield Building Urgent Steam Shutdown, Sept. 3, 4-9 p.m.

Due to emergency repairs, steam systems will be unavailable throughout the Allan Rosenfield Building from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. today, September 3.

  • While we conduct the repairs, there will be no hot water, heating, sterilization, autoclaves, steam tables, or dishwashers available throughout the building.
  • During this time, occupants may notice slightly cooler building temperatures.
  • Eyewash devices and overhead emergency shower units will be functional but will be supplied with cold water only. Accordingly, please consider limiting research operations that have significant potential for splash or face and bodily exposure during the shutdown.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation as we work to improve our facilities. For questions or concerns, please contact John Hession, plant superintendent, at jkh2149@columbia.edu.
