Some asbestos is contained in floor tile mastic and joint compound in the rooms and its removal was necessary in renovating the area. In an email, Joe Raab, director of environment, health and safety (EH&S) at UB, said the abatement is a "planned project and there has been no emergency release of asbestos in the building." The removal will take about eight days to complete. Raab said precautions are being implemented to prevent the spread of asbestos.
