EPA Approves Fiterman Hall Scaffolding Plans

On Friday, March 23rd, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved scaffolding plans that have been under review for Fiterman Hall. Airtek Environmental Corp., the environmental consultant for the project, has installed air monitors and started the required two-week background sampling period. After sampling results from this period have been reviewed by the EPA, work to install the scaffold is anticipated to begin in mid-April
The old sidewalk bridge was disassembled and re-built in February as a stronger sidewalk bridge to hold the new scaffolding.
