Town picks firm to probe mold case

By Hoa Nguyen
Greenwich Time - Staff Writer

A Fairfield firm known for its expertise in construction disputes has been chosen to investigate what caused mold to grow at the Hamilton Avenue School modular building....

LOOK AT THIS GLOWING REFERENCE FROM GREENWICH HOSPITAL:

"Navigant Consulting worked with the hospital in 2000 to help clarify discrepancies with contractors, subcontractors and architects in the closeout of our Helmsley building project," spokesman George Pawlush said. "That's pretty much as far as I want to go into it."


LET THE HAMILTON AVENUE SCHOOL PARENTS INDEPENDENTLY TEST THE MODULAR CLASSROOMS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS....

Anthony Byrne, the district's facilities director, warned the costs may escalate because as the firm investigates the building, their work may help spread the mold spores inside the classrooms. He said once that happens, the district will have a harder time cleaning mold spores from the classrooms if it ever decides to reuse the modular building.
