As a result of the recent AAALAC inspection of campus vivaria space, 
Physical Plant will perform repairs to painted surfaces on doors and door 
frames in the Spieth and Psychology vivariums.

According to Bill Schmechel, Director, Research Integrity Office, work may 
start as early as tomorrow, December 16, with the bulk of the work to be 
performed before the holiday break.  The entire project is tentatively 
scheduled for completion mid January.

Given the work is primarily focused on doors and door frames, freshly 
painted animal room doors will remain open for a period of 4 - 6 hours for 
drying.  Painters must use an oil based product therefore, it will emit an 
odor that is a bit more pungent than the water based products typically 
applied to walls.  Of course, Physical Plant personnel will employ efforts 
to mask the odor and ventilate the space.

Should you have questions or concerns regarding this matter, please direct 
your comments to Bill Schemchel, x24810.

Regards, Dan
