During demolition, how were hazardous materials such as asbestos handled?
The only hazardous material found in Balz, Dobie and Watson was asbestos. All asbestos-containing materials were removed from the buildings prior to demolition by a licensed abatement contractor. During abatement, University Environmental Health and Safety monitored air quality and the work processes utilized. Prior to demolition work, core samples were taken from various locations within the ground area to be disturbed by construction activity. The samples were free of hazardous materials.
