To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
Further to last week’s update on the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building, during which we confirmed the opening of the 5th and 6th floor amphitheatres and 2nd floor classrooms, we are pleased to report that the following additional areas will be opened as follows:
To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
With the new academic year set to begin in earnest, I am pleased to report a great deal of progress has been made with respect to remediation efforts at the McIntyre Building following the July 13 fire. I take this opportunity to thank the University’s Project Review team who have taken over the reins from the Emergency Operations Committee and who continue their meticulous work to minimize disruptions to our community.
Please take note of the following updates:

To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
Following weeks of remediation efforts we continue to make steady progress on the road to returning the McIntyre Building to normal operations. Roughly half of the building has re-opened, with occupants of the 7th floor and up returning to the building. A great deal of work remains however, in particular with respect to the lower floors. While the goal is to be able to re-open the 1st to 6th floors as quickly as possible, portions of these lower floors are expected to remain closed for several months.
To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
As previously communicated, as of last Friday McIntyre Floors 7 and higher were reopened for all faculty and staff members and students, accessible via the 6th floor Pine entrance. With three of the four ventilation systems servicing this area of the building returning to operation, temperatures on these floors continued to drop over the weekend and are now within their normal range, with the exception of small pockets of warmer areas that are serviced by the one HVAC system that remains to be cleaned.

To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
Work continues on plan, based on today’s update by McGill’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC). Soot on Floors 7 to 13 has been cleaned from the majority of rooms and HVAC systems, and we have received the results of final air quality assessments to support the reopening on Friday, July 27, of Floors 7 to 13, provided the key steps outlined below are successfully completed.
To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
Yesterday, a special information session was held to give the Faculty community a detailed account of the progress made since the McIntyre Building fire last Friday, July 13. At the meeting, McGill’s VP (Administration and Finance) Yves Beauchamp confirmed that the McIntyre will remain closed until at least Wednesday a.m., July 25. The goal, however, is to reopen portions of the building starting as early as Wednesday. In the meantime, please note that current protocols remain in place.
To all McIntyre Medical Sciences Building occupants,
Following the weekend fire at the McIntyre Medical Building, McIntyre will remain closed until further notice. We are working around the clock to verify the integrity of the structure, replace damaged fire systems, and complete other crucial assessments and remediations. We may be able to re-open some unaffected portions of the building in the coming days. Other areas may remain off-limits longer.
In the meantime:
