Update on Technical Services Renovation
I would like to provide you with a very brief update on the Scott first floor renovations. The situation generally remains unchanged, as we have finalized the drawing and the cost estimate. The Facilities
department is continuing to prepare drawings for the larger scale renovation project that will be done in conjunction with our first floor renovation project. This large scale project encompasses the fire safety system, lighting retrofit, and HVAC systems. John Thomson has been checking periodically with Facilities and will provide us with an update as soon as there are further developments. Monika Macieri provided the working committee with some questions from Technical Services staff members. I will work over the next week to make sure that the points Monika raised are addressed. Some of the departments have started the process of assigning work stations. If your department has not yet initiated this process you should expect that this will happen shortly. Enclosed is a drawing that reflects two minor changes after a fire code review. Another exit was added from area 105 (in Bibliographic Services, adjacent to the MAP Library) that has resulted in a minor revision to the scanning room and the adjacent office. It was also necessary to eliminate the coat closet which was previously attached to the scanning office in order to maintain the same number of scanning stations and the same square footage for the office. The coat hooks for Bibliographic Services will now be provided on the 9′-0″ high wall that faces offices 10 and 11. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions on these changes or on the project in general.
Thank you,
Glenn
