Neurological Institute: Steam Disruption, Dec. 21-22.

Steam systems will be temporarily unavailable throughout the Neurological Institute from 6 p.m. on Thursday, December 21 until approximately 12 a.m. on Friday, December 22, while NYP conducts urgent repairs.

During this time, there will be no hot water, sterilization, autoclaves, steam tables, or dishwashers available throughout the building. Heat will also be disrupted, and occupants may experience unusually cold temperatures while the work is being completed.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. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John Hession, plant superintendent, at jkh2149@cumc.columbia.edu.
