Dear UMBC Community,
A helicopter is scheduled to be on campus this Saturday, July 11, between approximately 6 and 10 a.m., weather permitting, to move equipment onto the Biological Sciences Building. The work is part of a facilities project to replace rooftop mechanical equipment.
During this time, the Library, The Commons, the Meyerhoff Chemistry Building, and the Biological Sciences Building will be closed, and access to other nearby areas may be restricted. Temporary barriers and on-site personnel will help maintain the safety perimeter. The project team has coordinated with UMBC Police, Environmental Safety and Health, and other campus partners to ensure the operation is conducted safely.
Please stay clear of restricted areas and follow posted signs and instructions from campus personnel. Visit the Facilities Management group for more details.
If weather prevents the work from taking place on Saturday, the lift is expected to move to Sunday, July 12, during the same approximate timeframe of 6 to 10 a.m. The same building closures and access restrictions would apply.
We appreciate your patience as we complete this important work. As I begin my time at UMBC, I look forward to working with many of you in the weeks and months ahead.
Gamze Zeytinci
Vice President for Administration and Finance and Chief Financial Officer
