Project Coordinator Rick Zamora from the Office of Facilities Planning and Development investigated and determined the cause of the odor was an oil-based road sealant being applied to the asphalt roadway around the new building.
The UTSA safety office has confirmed the odor is not harmful or a danger to health, only a nuisance.
Measures are being taken by the contractor to reduce the odor, and additional work will be rescheduled for a time when there are fewer people on campus.
