All corresponding steel frame supports for them had been installed early in the month. The chase for bringing down the a/c conduits was built and appropriate steel beams were placed for reinforcement of the floor. In the third floor the contractor continued installation of the A/C ducts and wiring the new electrical system. Aerometalica Corp.continued with the construction of the bases for the new cooling tower and chiller and the installation of the frame walls for the new mechanical room in the North patio area. In the first floor the contractor continued with the removal of existing electrical piping and A/C units. They continue working in the installation of the new A/C conduits and luminaires, also for fire alarm system.
The contractor is continuing with the installation of piping and electrical wiring for the primary electrical and air conditioning infrastructure. The chiller, switchgear, main disconnect, and power generator with the transfer switch was being installed on their new bases and wiring had begun.

| Infrastructure Purpose and Rationale |
The Institute of Neurobiology is an interdisciplinary research facility devoted to the study of the structure and function of the nervous system at all levels of organization from whole animal behavior to molecular biology. The Institute is entirely dedicated (100%) time and space, to research and research training activities. This project is specifically designed to implement improvements and renovations that will benefit the collective research objectives of all students and investigators affiliated with the Institute. It will also significantly enhance our ability to serve the broader Neurobiology community of Puerto Rico and from overseas. The project will address essential infrastructure needs of the Institute of Neurobiology, a free- standing research unit of the University of Puerto Rico. The proposed improvements will correct significant deficiencies including an antiquated air conditioning system, an obsolete network infrastructure and structural damages that makes parts of the Institute dangerous to occupy. A crucial component of the project will be the implementation of a vigorous maintenance protocol to avoid recurrence of the deteriorated condition. A major objective is to replace the air conditioning system (except for the animal holding area) with a central cooling plant with other systems, for the laboratories, that will provide humidity control, and building automatic controls system. Green design will include high efficiency chillers and equipments to mantain the units operation with energy reduction costs. The new project will increase the oportunities for research trainings and diversity in the scientific workforce.
