Update Regarding Streisinger 225 Repairs

Posted on by lpitts

Building Occupants,

Due to the ongoing leaks in Streisinger 225, The Novick Conference Room remains unavailable until damages can be repaired.  CPFM  is working with a contractor to trace down the source of the water intrusion.  Unfortunately, we cannot provide a timeline for this repair at this time.  In the interim, we are going to be sealing the exterior deck, believed to be the source of the leak, install a temporary grid ceiling and paint and repair the damaged soffit.  Looking ahead at long-term goals; Design and Construction has already started to work on a design for replacing the ceiling and seeking at a long-term solution for the exterior deck.  We will continue to provide updates as new information is available.

For questions or concerns please contact CPFM Facilities Services Zone B Maintenance Manager Bruce Budzik at 541-346-8834.
