Limited Access to CEBAF Center F-Wing First Floor on March 11-12 
This coming weekend, Warwick Plumbing & Heating subcontractors will be spraying foam in the Data Center as part of the Utilities Infrastructure Modernization (UIM) Data Center Upgrade project. There will be limited access on the first floor F-wing hallway on Saturday, March 11, due to spray foam hoses. Additionally, a slight odor will be present inside the Data Center likely throughout the weekend (the space will be ventilated for 24 hours after foam is sprayed). It's recommended that staff and Users avoid the first floor of the F-wing over the weekend. If you have any questions or concerns about this work, contact Michele Solaroli, x7751.
