Subject: Water intrusion related environmental health assessment and control protocols for Hendricks Hall room 107 and adjacencies.
CPFM discovered a small amount of mold growth in room 107 of Hendricks Hall the week of November 15th. This discovery was made during investigation of an exterior water leak. Approx. 3 ceiling tiles were removed that were impacted with mold growth, and additional mold growth was identified on the gypsum board substrate above the tiles. The total impact was 2-3 square feet in one room, with the ceiling tiles being removed intact. The cause of the leak was determined to be the building gutter system. Similar leaks have been assessed in this area in the past, but this is the first instance where mold growth has been identified. CPFM is working to minimize the likelihood of future water intrusions.
On November 22 the area was inspected by Environmental Health and Safety at the request of the occupant. EHS recommended that the removed ceiling tiles be disposed of, the hole in the ceiling be sealed, and out of an abundance of caution the office cleaned according to EPA recommended protocols. The recommendations were completed the week of this inspection by appropriately trained CPFM personnel. Due to the small area impacted and the manner in which work was conducted during the initial impact, contamination resulting from this incident in room 107 and adjacent building areas is estimated to be insignificant.
Moving forward, affected portions of the ceiling in room 107 will be demolished using EPA recommended mold abatement protocols. Mold contaminated materials will be demolished where possible and cleaned and disinfected where contaminated materials must remain. Abatement work will be conducted by trained CPFM personnel and managed by EHS. The ceiling will be patched following approval by EHS that contamination has been removed. Adjacent office areas will be evaluated and may receive similar treatment at a future date to be determined.
Thank you for your patience while we work through this issue.

Update 11/17/21:
Upon further detailed investigation, classrooms 221 & 214 were found to be unaffected by the mechanical failure. Because these classrooms continue to be appropriately served by building HVAC systems as before, the recently installed portable filtration units will be relocated to areas where they provide needed benefits.
We appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the Work Control Center at 541-346-2319 or email workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu.
Update 11/15/21:
McKenzie Hall faculty and staff,
In response to the water intrusion in room 127, facilities deployed portable air filtration units over the weekend so classes could be scheduled today. Some of the units are operating at higher noise levels and will be replaced with quieter units today. Facilities is investigating why the sump pump failure alarms did not function and have installed temporary water detection alarms in addition to supporting ongoing mitigation efforts.
Due to flooding with greywater, the following mitigation actions are underway, including engagement of restoration contractors:
The affected HVAC system is expected to remain offline for at least 2-3 weeks and until HVAC cleaning and restoration activities are complete. Portable HEPA units will remain in place until the successful cleaning and testing of the HVAC system is complete.
The restoration contractors are working under the scope provided by Environmental Health and Safety professionals.
We appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the Work Control Center at 541-346-2319 or email workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu
Original Notice:
Over the weekend, McKenzie Hall mechanical room 127 was flooded with multiple feet of water. The water containment and clean up are complete. However, the HVAC system has been impacted and will remain offline for specific classrooms (listed below) until the system can be repaired or replaced. HEPA units have been set up in the affected classrooms to ensure proper air circulation and filtration. These are the same type of HEPA units that are currently used in older buildings across campus that do not have existing HVAC systems.
The affected areas in McKenzie may see some comfort impacts until the HVAC system is back online. Some of the HEPA units currently in place are the louder industrial style. These will be exchanged for the quieter commercial styles as those become available.
More information will be communicated this week as the repair needs and timelines are identified.
IMPACTED CLASSROOMS:
121
122
