Stewart Biology: South Block update

Following yesterday’s reopening of the Stewart Biology Building’s North Block, we had hoped to complete cleaning and testing in the South Block today, and reopen it this evening once it was confirmed that the test results met Quebec government safety standards.

Unfortunately, the cleaning in the South Block is not yet complete. This in turn has delayed the air testing in the South Block. The result is that we will not receive air test results until the evening of Monday, February 27.

This delay is regrettable, and I know that the closure of the South Block continues to have a major impact on teaching, research and other important activities. We can assure you that we are doing all we can to expedite the cleaning and testing of the South Block, in order to ensure a safe re-entry as soon as possible.
