3/13/23 Collier House Room 207 Abatement Project Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

Beginning on Monday, 3/13/23, restroom 207 will be off-line for a flooring replacement project. The floor tiles within that space are asbestos-containing, so the University has retained a licensed asbestos abatement contractor to perform the demolition phase as an asbestos abatement project.

Installation of new flooring materials will be performed by Campus Planning and Facilities Management (CPFM) after abatement work is complete.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about the abatement phase of this project. Questions pertaining to the new flooring installation phase should be directed to CPFM Work Control (workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu / 541-346-2319)
