- The work will start very soon and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010. Within the next week or so they will be closing the road on the east side of the Technology building so they can park the big work vans there. The doors at both ends of the Tech building will remain open throughout.
- It mostly affects the spaces on the first and second floors. The third floor was added to this building about 10 years ago, so fewer renos are needed here.
- They are mostly updating piping and duct work, along with some electrical, on this floor. This means that they will need access to our offices and work spaces at various times. They will only move furniture if they have to, and will cover everything when they are working to reduce the amount of dust.
- There may be power outages at various times during the reno, and we will be notified in advance. These power outages may be across campus during the summer. The May 29-30 weekend is a scheduled power outage, and this may overlap into a day before or after the weekend. We may have to be creative during these times. Working in other locations is a possibility for those of us who have laptops. If necessary, we could sign out laptops for those of you who typically work on desktops. And if that doesn't work, well, we'll see what happens and deal with it as it comes. This could have bigger impact on the AV area if filming is in progress, for example, for the China project.
- The elevator will be closed for up to 2 to 3 weeks during the summer.
- At the end of April they will be shutting the boilers off, which means we won't have any heat for May through August. We'll have to discuss our options for staying warm during this time.
- They will be focusing on the classrooms first to ensure students will not be impacted in September when they return to class.
