A UI task force that found some practices in the Chemistry Building were unsafe and could have contributed to several occupants’ illnesses will hold two forums today to discuss its findings and recommendations.

The first forum will be held at 10 a.m. in C130 Pomerantz Center; the second will be at 11:30 a.m. in W228 Chemistry Building. Officials expect both forums to last an hour.

At the forums, attendees will be able to ask questions of the task force, which included officials from several UI departments. The task force began investigating the building in April after 11 of the building’s occupants complained of respiratory problems, headaches, short-term memory loss, disorientation, and difficulty concentrating.

Some in the chemistry department have said the task force’s findings had several flaws.
