Lab downtime expected during relocation; validation to take weeks and construction to start in August
Summary
Staff told commissioners that the hospital lab will be offline during parts of the move, validation of equipment will take two weeks to a month, and internal construction in lab areas is scheduled to begin in August.
Presenters outlined operational impacts of the relocation: the lab cannot operate during parts of the construction sequence; temporary portable cooling is being used now, and a rooftop HVAC unit was removed recently. Staff said equipment removed from the lab must be validated after reinstallation, a process that typically takes two weeks to a month.
"They were on portable portable portable coolers... The lab unit was removed last week," a presenter said when describing temporary arrangements. Construction staff said internal construction in the lab area is scheduled to start in August; commissioners and staff discussed managing downtime to minimize disruption to hospital services and to return the lab to operation as quickly as validation and testing allow.
