Good Afternoon, 

I am writing to update you on the renovation plans.

I have attached a copy of the revised schedule dated 6-18-12.  Please review.

The GC (general contractor) will begin removing the metal wall base in the corridors on Wednesday evening, June 20th, after 5:00 p.m. 

PHASE A begins on Thursday, July 19, 2012.

PHASE B begins on Friday, July 27, 2012.

PLEASE NOTE:  The kitchen and copy room are scheduled in Phase A.  You will not have access to these areas from July 19th to July 27th.  

Prior to your Phase date, you will need to remove everything from your walls.  All desk tops, book cases, credenzas, file cabinets, and window sills must be cleared with the exception of your computer and phone.  This will afford the contractors the opportunity to be able to move your furniture into the center of the room for painting purposes.  The contractors are not responsible for any damage to items.  It is your responsibility to make sure your items are wrapped and packed securely.  I have boxes in my office for packing purposes.  You will need to bring in bubble wrap or paper for wrapping personal items.  

If you have carpet on the floor in your office, the contractor will work around it.  

During the construction phase, you will not have access to your office for approximately one week.  Each half of the floor will be sealed in plastic during the construction phase to contain dust and debris.  During this time, you can work remotely, (from South Campus, ELI, etc.) and/or you may schedule vacation (assuming all arrangements for your space are completed prior to your departure).  It will not be necessary for us to close, but we will need to plan     around the two-week construction phase since office access to each half of the floor will be impossible for at least one week.  

An AIM work order was submitted for two recycling paper bins to be placed in the front and back lobbies for purging.  Hopefully, they will arrive within the next day or two.  They will be available until July 13th.  The paper for recycling must be "non-sensitive only".  If there is confidential paper that requires shredding, perhaps we could have one of the students shred it depending on the volume of shredding.

If you are in one of the offices that needs to be completely emptied due to carpet removal, storage, etc., I will e-mail you under separate cover.  

If you have any questions regarding the renovations for your office, please stop by and see me.   

Thanks, 

Carol
