Breaking News: Asbestos released in Massey’s new Vet building

Last week, fire door manufacturer Pacific Door Systems put out an alert that their doors were potentially contaminated with asbestos.

Unfortunately, Massey was the victim of this scare, letting staff know in an email yesterday.

12 doors were installed in this building, Massey’s new Nga Huia building for the Vet degree.

Five of these doors were drilled into causing the asbestos to release into the air.

Staff who have been inside the building after the release have been contacted and offered support. The university says it had secured the worksite.

They are now working with independent asbestos experts to find risks and take next steps
