Engineers do not recommend repairs

because…

• Buildings are 90 years old

• Extensive repairs needed

• Even if repaired - guaranteed only for 10 years

- high maintenance cost

• Aggressive environment with high rate of natural decay

- high maintenance cost of even new buildings- difficult maintenance of sensitive surgical electronic & electrical equipment
