TIMELINE:  Completed

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: We are installing a panel system with doors, similar to those in our Phase 2 washrooms, to enhance user experience. This system helps keep floors drier. Additionally, we will replace the flooring in front of and between the washrooms with a one-piece design for a smoother, more hygienic transition between the washroom and hallway. This change makes maintenance easier and reduces waste by eliminating the need to wash or replace shower curtains as part of regular maintenance.

Hours of Work:  Incompliance with 

Purpose: Technicians will be installing Cisco WAP Trims in resident rooms, working in both towers adjusting door hardware in a number of rooms and crews will be finishing off the application of polyurethane coatings to the "eyebrow" at the edge of the roof.

When:  Monday June 7 - Friday June 18

Impact on Residents:

• Expect some noise.

• Workers will follow COVID-19 precautions, insuring that physical distancing is maintained between the workers as well as between workers and the people entering and leaving the building.

A temporary water supply is currently being set up to serve beginning 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 2 ,2020 and continuing for approximately two weeks.

Purpose: This temporary water supply is required while crews make repairs and modifications to the main underground water supply piping. During this time please be mindful of the following:

Impact on Residents:

• Occasionally notice a lower volume of water coming from the faucets or showers. This is due to the fact that the fire hoses have a smaller diameter than the regular water supply piping.
• If you notice that the quality of the water changes at any time, please run the water until it clears up.
• Fire hoses will be running along the ground in various locations as part of this project and they will cross the breezeway near the entrance to each of the towers (SBH, BRH, and PJH) and a hose will cross in front of the main entrance of HAM.
