There will be disruptive duct work and finishing construction in the back hall, room 300 and in group study rooms BG4, BG5, & BG6 (next to the vending machines) this weekend. These rooms will be unavailable from Friday evening (2/17) to Monday morning (2/20).
Please post an update on the library site about the closure and the increased noise. I have reserved them on the site so that they are offline and put signs up tomorrow. Just to be safe, they will be unavailable until Monday at 7am.
12/29/2022 UPDATE
There will be disruptive construction in the E2 library entrance area on the weekend of January 6th. While the installation of the temporary doors took place around 2 weeks ago, they are not yet working. The relocation of the door openers and closing of the current main entrance to the Library space will take place the weekend of 1/6/23. After that, the recently installed temporary doors will serve as the primary entrance to the Library and the Office of Medical Education, as well as the stairwell to the Team-Based Learning. At that time, the new vinyl construction barrier will go up between the current entry area and the Library space, making the current main entrance defunct.
12/7/2022 UPDATE
Group study rooms BG4, BG5 and BG6 will be closed over the weekend from 5PM on Friday December 9th until Monday December 12th at 8AM. There will be disruptive demolition and construction in the E2 library entrance area on Saturday, December 10th.
12/5/2022 UPDATE
The contractors have now constructed the temporary and some of the permanent walls in the E2 space to separate the construction zone from the library space and the Office of Medical Education. See the pictures below of the walls that were constructed this weekend. They will be taking down all the vents/ductwork in the SOPH space on the other side of the walls, so there is a potential for noise this week. There is a distinct lack of light in the stairwell entry now and Library Administration will be emailing our contractor and facilities/design about it. Hopefully, they will have a solution.
11/30/2022 UPDATE
There will be loud/possibly disruptive construction taking place in the library space every Saturday for at least the next month.
Construction taking place on 12/3/22 will be the walls in front of the stairwell to the door of the OME and around the main entrance to the library doors. Those doors will remain open and functional until a new entry door is installed. They anticipate the new door will be installed on 12/10/22, possibly on 12/3/22, if time allows.
The weekend following the installation of the new door, the opener/badge readers will be relocated to new door and entry will be relocated. They anticipate the stairwell demolition and construction will take place at the end of December.
Duct work construction on the ducts from E2.300 to across the hall will close group study rooms 200, 202, and 300 on 12/10/22.
