Rockville Science East Renovation 10/11/2011

The Science East building has been emptied of College inventory and the building turned over to remediation contractors for the remediation of asbestos prior to renovation work. It is anticipated that the remediation work will continue through the month of October and November 2011. The building should be turned over to the general contractor some time in December 2011 to begin demolotion and renovation work.

Central Facilities is preparing the first addendums to the renovation scope of work which will include some IT items related to projection screens, classroom projectors and possibly contract requirements.
