This is a reminder that construction crews will be in the Hodges Library starting on Monday, May 21. They will begin to prepare the area by covering the marble floor and hanging dust barriers. We could see demolition begin as early as Tuesday, May 22 in Room 245.
We are still in the process of clearing Commons South, but it is virtually shut down at this point. Since the DART machine and copiers have yet to be moved we have not taped off Commons South so that students may still have access to that equipment. But that will occur at some point next week and then it will be entirely closed to the public. We will be moving the rest of the furniture and Steelcase systems that are integrated with networking and power from Commons South by the end of the week.
Services and individual offices normally in the areas affected by the construction have been relocated.
