Administration Building to close for floor replacement

Northwest's Administration Building will be closed to all employees and the public during winter break, Saturday, Dec. 22, through Tuesday, Jan. 1, for flooring work on the ground floor.

The project consists of removal of the old vinyl and, later in the winter, installation of new tile flooring. Because the old flooring and the glue contain asbestos, strict procedures will be followed. All removal work will take place under plastic tenting. Air outside the tenting will be monitored throughout the process.

Crews will begin work on the two north stairways on Thursday, Dec. 13. One entrance at a time will be closed as workers remove flooring. During the period building access is closed, the flooring in the open hallway will be removed. Work will be contained to the first floor.

All removal work will be completed before the campus opens on Wednesday, Jan. 2.

Those who enter the building following the break will walk on concrete for several weeks while the new vinyl composition tile (VCT) floor is being installed.

The Office of Finance and Support Services thanks the University Community for its patience during the repair period.
