“Extensive testing will be conducted over the next few days to find and isolate the source of the problem,” the university said. “The Macdonald-Stewart and Barton buildings, while not under construction, are being closed out of an abundance of caution while testing is conducted.”The university said the air ventilation systems of the three buildings aren’t connected, but there are passageways that connect the structures.
The affected buildings are off limits, with the exception of some research activities — such as tending to animals — that must first be cleared by the university. McGill said those who have permission to enter must be equipped with personal protective equipment supplied by the university.
