Update on the Espresso Building and Patient Accommodation.

Regarding the Elevator Area on the 6th Floor: 

Recently, concerns were raised about a visible gap on the wall  near the elevator area on the 6th floor. We want to assure everyone that the issue does not pose any threat to the safety of our clientele or elevator use.

The situation was already identified in the 2024 structural report and is related to a dilatation joint (or “control joint”), which is essentially a normal gap between building sections, likely affected by past construction nearby. Building management will address the issue during their upcoming maintenance work, which is expected to be completed by early summer 2025. We have requested detailed information on their repair plan and are closely monitoring the area as part of our routine building oversight.
