Asbestos Inventory

University buildings have been inspected and sampled for asbestos-containing materials and presumed asbestos-containing materials. The asbestos inventory is managed by Occupational Safety and Health staff.

If there is renovation work planned, place a work order in the charge-back system for a pre-construction hazard assessment.

The inventory should be used as a general reference only. Do not print this listing and assume this is a final list of all asbestos-containing materials in the building. It is updated as needed by OSH staff. Specific locations of asbestos-containing materials can be obtained by contacting OSH staff at osh@umd.edu.

The inventory is currently undergoing maintenance. Please call ESSR if you need access to identified ACM in buildings.  

FY23 Asbestos Management Plan

The asbestos management plan is updated every fiscal year, and includes a list of completed and anticipated asbestos-abatement projects.
