Hammer Building Steam Shutdown, September 16

Steam systems will be unavailable from 6 a.m. until approximately 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 16, in Hammer Health Sciences Center due to emergency repairs.

While we conduct the repairs, there will be no hot water, sterilization, autoclaves, steam tables, or dishwashers available throughout 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.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation as we work to improve our facilities. For questions or concerns, please contact Anton Dedvukaj, west campus building manager, at agd2143@cumc.columbia.edu
