Last Thursday afternoon the large restrooms at the north end of the first floor of Daniels were closed off by construction barriers. Students in B, 1, and 2 of Daniels should be directed to the restroom trailer outside the south exits from Daniels basement. Signs are being posted to that effect.
Safety issues:
- Keep out of the area north of the loading dock!
- The emergency exit to the west at the north end of the first floor of Daniels should be used for emergencies only because it opens into the area north of the loading dock. Do not use this exit!
- Carts loaded with construction materials will use the corridors on B, 1, and 2 Daniels between the freight elevator and the north end of the building. Warn students to watch out!
The west (parking) lane on the Chemistry side of Mills Street is now closed by construction barriers and the bus stop has been moved from the University Avenue end of the block south to the Johnson Street end. There is no sidewalk on the west side of Mills street. Don’t walk down that side of the street: you will be in an automobile traffic lane. Excavations to allow equipment to be brought into the sub-basement will begin soon on the Mills-Street side of our building and Mills street will be completely closed between University and Johnson for a period of a couple weeks sometime this month.
We have discovered that access to the webcam will not be available to the public. We are working on a feed that can be compressed and selected to mitigate those concerns.
