The E4 Emergency Medicine Office Renovation Project begins this week.  The former study and stacks area of E4 will be transformed into the new offices for Emergency Medicine.  The estimated duration of the construction project on E4 will be from Monday, January 11, 2016, through Wednesday, May 18, 2016.  Since the project is taking place right above the Team-Based Learning (TBL) Center, there will be some designated quiet times when TBL sessions are scheduled.  Additionally, the west elevators (i.e. the public elevators near the restrooms) have been locked, and only the construction crew will be using this to travel from E1 to E4.

The E2 Library and Headmaster Renovation Project will begin on January 25, 2016.  The offices behind the student computers area on E2 will be transformed into the new offices for the Headmaster.  The Individual study cubicle area and group study space across from the coffee machine will be enclosed in glass to establish a formal quiet zone.  Also included in this project is renovation of the E2 restrooms.  The estimated duration of the construction project on E2 is estimated to be 4-6 weeks; specific project plan information will be forthcoming.

When we have specific dates on the closure of the E2 restrooms, we will communicate this promptly, along with alternative restroom locations in the E building.  The construction crew will be using the freight elevator for this project, bringing in materials from the loading dock to E2.
