Hammer Bldg. Steam Services Disruption, April 29, 4-11:55 p.m.

Steam and steam-related systems throughout the Hammer Health Sciences Center will be temporarily unavailable from 4 p.m. to approximately 11:55 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29, due to steam valve replacement work. 

• 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 also experience temperature fluctuations in the building.
• Eyewash devices and overhead emergency shower units will be functional but will be supplied with cold water only. Accordingly, please consider limiting research operations with significant potential for splash or face-and-body exposure during the shutdown.

For questions or concerns, please contact Thomas Lautenschlager, project engineer, at tl3502@cumc.columbia.edu.
