Knight Library #364-#366 Renovation 6/17/19 – 8/31/19

Posted on by jepeters

Beginning June 17th, and continuing until the end of August, the general contractor, Preferred Construction, and their subs will be doing renovation work in rooms 364-366 in the Knight Library.  This will involve asbestos abatement, minor demo and framing, drywall, duct work, electrical, carpet and paint.  Users can expect to hear normal and occasional construction noises such as hammering and drilling, and may smell a water-based latex, non-toxic paint, during the painting portion.  Users will see the contractor, their subs and UO personnel entering/exiting the building with tools and materials during normal business hours.

During abatement (6/18-6/20), CPFM staff will turn off the HVAC system, which might affect areas outside the construction zone on the third floor.

No other utility disruptions or shutoffs are expected at this time, but if there are any more, then an additional notice will be distributed.

If there are any issues or concerns, please contact Theo Davis, the CPFM project manager, at 541-346-1012, or tdavis1@uoregon.edu.

Information provided by UO Safety and Risk Services:

Asbestos abatement is completed with a controlled environment. Unaffected surfaces are covered with thick plastic sheeting and thoroughly sealed, any penetrations are sealed, and the work area entry is protected by a two flap air lock. Air is constantly removed from the work area through use of a machine called an air filtration unit (AFU). This machine draws air from the work area, forces it through a series of filters, and then exhausts it to the exterior of the building. The final filter is HEPA, which removes 99.97% of particulate measuring .3 microns and smaller. The work area is under negative pressure, meaning that air can’t escape except through our AFU.

You may notice plastic sheeting walls with asbestos signage on them. These are to notify you of a potential hazard inside of the enclosure and are required by OSHA and LRAPA regulations. There also will be a long plastic exhaust duct. This duct carries the filtered exhaust air out of the containment and exhausts it to the building exterior. All of these controls are designed and proven to keep the potential hazard inside of the containment and away from you. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Environmental Health & Safety at 6-3192.

Please contact me or Adam Jones with any questions.

Building Occupants,

In preparation for the renovation of the laboratories on the basement, first and the second floor of the south wing of Pacific Hall, we will be closing the south portion of each of these the hallways for a week at a time, to perform floor tile removal (see attached plans for affected areas).

The schedule for this work is:

Basement: December 19th- 23rd

Second Floor: December 26th – 30th

First Floor: January 2nd – 6th

Except for access to occupied spaces within the project area, these hallways will be closed to traffic for this time.

In the weeks following the abatement work, the project will erect semi-permanent partitions, blocking these corridors (except for access to occupied spaces) to begin demolition and construction.

This project will run through 2017 and into the beginning of 2018. Access from Pacific Hall to Onyx Bridge will remain open through the construction project.

If you have question or concerns, please contact Jen Miley, Research Manager
