PAC Plumbing Infrastructure Repair Project

The project is progressing on schedule and approximately 40% of the initial project phase has been completed.

The past month has seen a few unexpected issues involving the elevators and the women's restroom on the 4th floor:

We lost the Tower 1 elevator on July 3 and the Tower 2 elevator on July 21 due to equipment failures. Service was restored to Tower 1 on July 24.

The 4th-floor women's restroom in Tower 2 had to be taken out of service due to a significant water leak that affected multiple floors. Because the needed repairs are extensive and align with the plumbing project, the restroom will be repaired as part of that work.

The kindness and understanding of our PAC building community has been invaluable as these unexpected challenges crop up.
