Work will begin to install the new skylight in the library on August 22nd. This should only take one day to complete.
The hallway and classrooms on the second floor (by the student lounge) will be opened up on or before August 25th; the first day of classes.
The scaffolding will be broken down sometime during the first week of classes (August 25-29). This work will be done after the library closes at 5:00 p.m. to allow for minimal disruption to the staff and students. Cheri will send out an email to the 1st year law students letting them know that the scaffolding will still be in place during the first week of classes.
Since the semester will be in full bloom shortly, it has been asked that the Law Library be cleaned up significantly before the students return. Attention needs to be paid to the carpets, stairwell, elevator, tables, and stacks. The contractors will do their part to clean up after themselves and the University cleaning staff will be resposible for their regular duties and pay special attention to dusting and vacuuming the entire library.
Work is continuing to move forward on the 7th floor. The stacks and carpets have been removed and the south side of the library has already been abated. The workers are clearing out the north side and abatement of this side will continue over the next several weeks.
