Research buildings will not open Monday
Posted: 4:55 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 27, mc
No UTMB research buildings will be open for business on Monday, Sept. 29, and research staff should not come to work, according to William New, associate dean of research administration. Early next week UTMB will present a plan for returning to campus research buildings.
The MRB, the Basic Science Building, Building 17, and all other research buildings are not ready to be occupied, New said. “None of these buildings have hot water or fire alarms and some lack flushing toilets.” This is not an environment that is safe for normal operations.
UTMB will continue the E-1 “look and leave” practice of the past 10 days. Research staff is encouraged to come in to check on any freezers that have failed and to work with Safety to empty failed freezers and refrigerators. New can be reached at wgnew@utmb.edu, office phone, 409-772-6015. Wayne Patterson, assistant vice president for research, can be reached at wpatters@utmb.edu, office phone 409-266-9475.
