Facilities Notices

The two main passenger elevators in Academic Building (55) are out of service. Several repair attempts to elevator 1 have failed and now components of elevator 2 have failed. Both elevators have operated beyond their useful life and replacement parts are no longer available. All components of both elevators need to be replaced which will take several months due to lead times on the components as well as the time it takes to perform the replacements. During this time, the small passenger elevator to the left of the main elevators, as well as the freight elevator towards the back of the building, will remain operational. Thank you for your patience during this extended replacement.

Casework shall be painted in CAT Lab Suite 460. This work may release chemical odors throughout the building.

Ludlow Street at 33rd Street will be closed for crane work to load material on the roof of Haggerty Library (15). The sidewalks will also be closed to pedestrian traffic during this time. Please avoid the area and follow all posted signage. Businesses adjacent to this closure have been informed and a Philadelphia police officer will be assigned to the closure. For access to the parking garage or other services on Ludlow, you will have to enter and exit from the 34th Street end during this closure. Thank you.
