MSB Major Renovation Updates
|
|
Overview of Work
There are two major construction projects nearing completion in MSB: the renovation of laboratories in the research tower (various spaces on floors 3 – 7) and to the anatomy labs on the first floor. Please note that as part of normal operations in MSB, there will be ongoing maintenance and repairs that may require asbestos work to occur (for example, in the event of a pipe breaking).
If you have questions about asbestos abatement practices at U of T sites, please contact ehs.office@utoronto.ca. If you have immediate concerns, please contact 416-978-3000.

Before an asbestos abatement project can begin, a number of steps are required to prepare the room. This includes the removal of existing furniture and set-up of enclosures and negative air machines. As part of this stage, some asbestos work may be required under careful supervision. However, it won't involve the intensive removal work associated with asbestos abatement. You can expect a moderate amount of noise during the day. Any noisy work will occur after-hours.

During this phase, local ventilation is shut down and work carefully regulated under the Ontario Health and Safety Act will commence. You can expect a lot of noise while the work is performed after-hours. If you are concerned that work-related dust has left these sites, please immediately report it by calling 416-978-3000.
Research Tower:
- 5253A, 5254, 5254B, 5254C, 5255, 5259, 5262A
- 6360, 6360A
- 7244, 7245, 7341, 7342, 7342A, 7342B, 7345, 7345C

With these spaces now cleared of asbestos, construction work will begin to deliver improved research and learning spaces for students, faculty and staff. Any noisy work will occur after-hours, but some moderate noise may be heard during the day. While every effort will be made to prevent the spread of construction-related dust during this phase, some dirt may be present. If you have concerns about dust from these sites, please call 416-978-3000.
