The North Building Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP)

In compliance with New York City laws, Hunter will be conducting a thorough inspection of the exterior walls of the North building by qualified exterior wall inspectors—and make necessary repairs that will ensure the safety and structural stability of the North building.

We thank faculty and staff for your continued engagement in the process and for your patience.

Ventilation Protocol Updates

• All operable windows MUST remain open and only need to be closed when work is scheduled immediately outside such window. You will be notified in advance when work is scheduled on the areas adjacent to where the windows need to be closed.
• Due to the successful use of HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters on the power tools used for the restoration, window air conditioners can operate while the work is underway. The only time window air conditioners cannot be turned on is when windows are covered with plastic for up to 2-hours while sealant around the windows is removed.
• If a room is occupied while the work is ongoing outside, the ventilation protocol is to leave doors open and the air circulation system will bring air from other areas of the building. Public Safety will patrol floors to monitor protocols.
