Western Specialty Contractors has begun mobilization to perform emergency masonry repairs on the east elevation parapet wall above the 10th-floor windows and the north elevation return wall. The goal is to investigate and repair any deteriorated stone-to-stone joints that have allowed water to infiltrate the 10th-floor labs during rainfall. Western will block off the area below and install signage to deter pedestrians and redirect foot traffic.
The emergency repair work, including mobilization, is expected to take 3 weeks. This work is dependent on weather conditions and should have minimal impact on MPRB and campus operations.
