Quad 4th Floor Laundry Room

Greetings Residents of the 4th Floor,

As you may know, there was recently a flood in the laundry room (near the Sulzberger elevators) on your floor. Our Facilities Staff have worked hard to rectify this problem and the laundry room is anticipated to be operational again beginning this Friday (10/24).

The problem in the laundry room was due to the pipes. The plumber has replaced the pipes and put in a system that will allow the water to flow more efficiently. Additionally, the damaged dry wall has been replaced in the laundry room and the carpets outside of it are being professionally steam cleaned.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. I'm glad that the problem will be fixed soon and hope that it hasn't been to inconvenient.

If you have any questions, please let me know -- Steve Tolman, Associate Director for the First Year Focus
