Black Building Steam Disruption, Oct. 15, 3-7 p.m.

Due to urgent repairs, the steam systems in the William Black Building will be temporarily unavailable from 3 p.m. to approximately 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15. 

• 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 cooler-than-usual 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.

For questions or concerns, please contact John Hession, plant superintendent, at jkh2149@cumc.columbia.edu.
