Hammer Bldg. Urgent Steam Shutdown, Apr. 26, 12-3 p.m.

Due to urgent repairs, steam systems will be unavailable throughout Hammer Health Sciences Center from noon to approximately 3 p.m. on Friday, April 26.

• While we conduct the repairs, there will be no hot water, heating, sterilization, autoclaves, steam tables, or dishwashers available throughout the building. 
• Eyewash devices and overhead emergency shower units will be functional but will be supplied with cold water only. Accordingly, please consider limiting research operations that have significant potential for splash or face and bodily exposure during the shutdown.
