The Coliseum, home to offices and ordinary business hours this time of the year as well as a few graduation ceremonies this weekend, is closed again today. It was shut down Friday.

Why, you ask? Asbestos!

The suspect asbestos containing material discovered Friday was encapsulated in an inaccessible area above ceilings in entrances to the restrooms ringing the concourse, and did not pose a health hazard to any individuals within the building, Principe said, adding that it was only exposed by the renovation work. The Coliseum was closed immediately after the discovery.

The testing firm continues to collect air samples throughout the remaining areas of the Coliseum, and the results of these samples should be available Monday, May 2.

The results have not yet been revealed — I pushed this back as far as I can — but this doesn’t seem as dire as the last time the Coliseum had this problem. During the current ongoing construction, some renovation work exposed concerns “in an area above ceilings in restroom entrances that surround the concourse.”

Update: All good.
