O. A. Grant Building
Asbestos Removal Overview
The project will encompass the removal of asbestos-containing cementitious fire-proofing and ceiling tile from all three floors. Due to the deck height above the ceilings and the type of material, water is used in the removal. The work will require the following decision points:
Tarleton State University will begin project activities on May 11th to remove asbestos containing fireproofing and ceiling tiles within the building. Once the asbestos removal has been completed new light fixtures, electrical wiring, and ceiling panels will be installed throughout the building.
Additionally, Tarleton is taking this opportunity to improve the fire and life safety features of the building by installing a fire sprinkler system throughout the structure. The construction is expected to be completed approximately August 11, 2013.
During the project, affected faculty and staff will either work remotely or be relocated to the Tarleton Center. The relocation areas include:
