Inspections by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety have confirmed the presence of asbestos particles in areas of Milne Library. Air quality testing has determined the air does not pose a risk, and the presence of asbestos in a building does not necessarily constitute a health threat. However, because the safety of students, employees, and visitors is paramount, the College has decided to initiate a remediation project to begin as soon as possible. As a result, the library will remain closed for an extended period of time, probably through the spring semester.
