Information Regarding Glenview

Tags Message to the Community

To Members of the Hamilton Community:

As a precautionary measure, the College is relocating all Glenview residents to other campus residence halls for the remainder of the semester. This decision follows recent test results revealing the presence of commonly occurring molds within the buildings’ walls and ventilation units. No toxigenic molds, such as Stachybotrys chartarum (i.e., “black mold”), were found.

Our students’ health and safety are and will remain Hamilton’s top priorities. While experts have assured us the situation is low risk, we are relocating students out of an abundance of caution and because remediation is not practical while students remain in the buildings since the source of the mold is inside wall cavities.

Information about the mold abatement efforts in Glenview, how Hamilton prevents and remediates mold, and the student relocation process can be found on Hamilton’s website.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to maintain a safe and healthy living and learning environment.

Sincerely,

Christopher Card
Vice President and Dean of Students
