Dear Nick:
The following is a report bused on my inspection of the above building this morning. Three areas
were inspected as follows:
1) Shared Tech, 3rd floor - Construction of the wall to be demolished was steel studs and gyp-
sum wallboard wirh no hisuladon within the walls. Ceiling tiles were lay -tit acoustic 2'x 4'
tiles. All were found to be in good material shape (with the exception of minor roof leaking)
and of newer construction Inatetials. No suspect asbestos containing building materials
were observed.
2) Finance 1, 2nd floor - Construction of wall to be demolished was steel studs and gypsum
wallboard with fiberglass soundproofing insulation within the walls. Ceiling was lay -in
acoustic 2' x 4' tiles. Ail were found to be hi good material shape and of newer construction
materials. A review of building plans of 2/28/92 showed this area to be constructed at this
time. No suspect asbestos containing building materials were observed.
3) Finance 2, 2nd floor - Construction of wait to be demolished was steel studs and gypsum
wallboard. Ccilin., was lay in acoustic 2'x 4' tiles. Ali were found to be in good material

F. s
An interview with Mr. R. E. Smith, Director of Facilities for Symanter, and a phone conversation
with j incoln Properties, the owner of the property, revealed that the building was built in 1984.
Use of Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM's) in most construction halted in 1976.
By 1980, all ACBM's were phased out of use in construction.
_Conrlusiom and Recomme&.gA ns
Based on the recent age of construction (1984 for Shared Tech and 1992 for Finance 1 and 2) and
a visual inspection it i.; appears ihighly unlikely that these areas ever contained ACBM's. The pro-
posed Tenant Improvements should proceed with no concerns of negative environmental impacts
from ACBM.
