Legionnaires' Testing
August 10, 2018 - Update
We last updated you about our Legionella testing and remediation efforts on July 26. As you recall, Legionella was detected in the Shapero Hall, Scott Hall, Applebaum Building and Cohn cooling towers. In each case remediation was immediately initiated, and recent testing results show that our remediation efforts have been effective. All of the cooling towers are now back on line and air conditioning has been restored in these buildings.
As you know, we ordered a new cooling tower to replace the rooftop cooling system in Towers Residential Suites. We are hopeful the new tower will be installed and operational before the start of the new academic year.
We have updated our building testing chart below. Please see the chart for the most recent information available.
While the majority of our tests show bacteria at minimal or non-detectable levels, areas that tested positive have undergone vigorous corrective actions (i.e., plumbing and water management changes to eliminate or mitigate Legionella). Additional samples continue to be tested to verify that these remedial actions are effective, and ongoing monitoring of water is continuing throughout the campus.
We will provide updates when new information becomes available.
