Asbestos abated from Douglas Hall By Nicole Milstead Campus Edttor

Asbestos was found in the pit of Douglas H all, but was removed over break. It was taken out of the lowest-residential­ level ceiling while no students were staying in the affected area, said Mark Hudson, director of Housing and Dining. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally, fibrous silicate minerals mined for their useful properties such as thermal insulation, chemical and thermal stability and high tensile strength. Asbestos is commonly used as an acoustic insulator, thermal insulation, fire proofing and in other building materials. Many products that are in use today contain asbestos, according to the EPA. Douglas H all is undergoing capital renovations and the pit is the next floor to be worked on. Because the construction will disturb the asbestos, it had to be removed to prevent any possible health risks, H udson said. All on-campus buildings are checked for asbestos, and University Housing and Dining always knew it was in Douglas, Hudson said. But because the product was encapsulated it did not provide a health risk. The EPA reports that asbestos is made of microscopic bundles of fibers that may become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed. When these fibers get into the air they may be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause significant health problems. JAY GRABIEC I THE DAILY EASTERN HEWS Dr. Sheila Baker of Health Service An exposed wire and conduit are lit by construction lights as work is continued in the pit of Douglas Hall on Wednesday afternoon. explained that asbestos fibers have been Asbestos was found in the ceilings of Douglas Hall at which point the cei lings were gutted to avoid any health risks. known to cause restrictive lung damage due to inhalation of the fibers.

By Stephen Di Benedetto Senior Activities Reporter

Artist Anna Kunz says that her "Forestcanopy" is an interactive work that is like a walk-in painting, but Eastern students are going to have to wait until San1rday to see it. "It's an experimental work, which means my viewer and the piece have to be interdependent," said Kunz. Kunz's work is going to be interactive, but the tide of her piece is another story. "A forest canopy is the result of different incidents," Kunz said. "The piece in Tarble is the result of a lot different ways of working with the material and a lot different ways of arranging the material." Kunz said her artwork is meant to embody the way a forest canopy is developed. The "Forestcanopy" is a combination of painting and installation. Kunz said it is essentially a three-dimensional painting.
