FRIDAY, February 22. All day.
2d Floor.
Chairs and tables will be delivered & installed.

-Tables will be built on site and moved into place.

-Existing tables will be removed as new tables are put in place.

What Does this Mean for Students?

On Friday:
-INCREASED NOISE
-INCREASED TRAFFIC
-2d Floor: LESS STUDY SPACE. The open area between the fire exit and the book stacks will not be available for study during the installation. This area will be cleared and reserved for delivery and construction of study tables. STUDENTS AT CARRELS IN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA MAY REMAIN IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO.

-The rest of the 2nd floor will remain open for study.
