Hammer Bldg. Urgent Steam Disruption, May 22, 2-6 p.m.

Steam and steam-related systems in the Hammer Health Sciences Center will be temporarily unavailable from 2 p.m. to approximately 6 p.m. today, May 22, due to urgent repairs.

• 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 that have significant potential for splash or face and bodily exposure during the shutdown.

For questions or concerns, please contact Fred Arce, assistance director of Facilities Engineering, at aa164@cumc.columbia.edu.
