Facilities management has informed me that funding is in place for the replacement of the 48 year old air handler in the basement with a new unit to be installed this fall, into the Spring.
The project will take place in two phases, the installation of the air handler into the sub-basement and then the actual installation into the Administrative suite and offices, along with rooms 120, 121, 123, 125 and the associated Hallways. The work in the first floor will commence on or about December 18th and continue through the Spring, with a target date of April 2nd to re-occupy the space. The Provost's office along with Facilities management is looking into possible spaces to host the department and faculty displaced during the upgrade. I'll keep everyone updated as I get new information.
