Construction Update for March 15

As part of the process for tearing down the old armory side of the building we had to do an asbestos test.  That test has been completed and we have received the results of the testing and I want to share the information with you. 

The testing revealed that we have some asbestos in the old steam boiler room, in some tile under an old freezer, and in the wrapping of some piping that is covered in the ceiling.  None of this asbestos has been disturbed or exposed so it doesn’t cause any health concerns as it is but since we plan to tear down the building we have to follow the appropriate procedures for abating the asbestos to be sure there are no health risks.

We have scheduled this work to happen on Monday, March 19 through Wednesday, March 21.  While the areas being worked on will all be contained and the Centre will be safe we wanted to be sure you were aware of what was happening so you can choose whether or not you wanted to utilize the Centre on those three days.

The safety of our members and staff is of the highest importance.  If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call at 246-2252 or e-mail me at dblattner@nracentre.com.

Sincerely,

Darian Blattner

Executive Director
