Renovations to the Guy-Metro Building have been delayed by approximately one month after the unfinished walls in the northwest corner were unexpectedly exposed during a recent storm.
Concordia has initiated a series of actions to assess the impact, mitigate any damage and evaluate asset deterioration.
“All necessary repair work will be conducted by the construction firm involved,” says Associate Vice-President, Facilities Management, Peter Bolla. “In addition, before any of the interior recladding continues, we have commissioned a full inspection, engineering, and environmental report.”
This means the proposed office moves scheduled for staff, many of whom are currently relocated throughout the Guy-Metro Building, will be unfortunately delayed by at least four weeks. The facilities management team will be in regular contact with the affected units to coordinate new moving dates.
“The health and well-being of Concordia’s staff are of paramount importance,” continues Bolla. “All appropriate safety precautions will be followed and any environmental approvals necessary will be obtained.”
