CRI Project Update/BSB Occupants Meeting
October 3, 2002
Next meeting: October 17, 2002, (my birthday) 1:30 p.m., BSB120

Update -The two construction projects (CRI and the Mechanical Room Expansion) have been combined into one project. The new value of the combined construction cost is estimated to be $35,140,000.00.

Elevators- The rework of the controls of the west bank of elevators continues. Completion is expected around the end of October.

CRI- The precast concrete floor system for the first floor is being set. The slab for the first floor autoclave is in place and the autoclave slated to be moved Oct 21-Nov 15. Construction of the structural steel frame for the CRI will begin at the end of October.

Jack hammering to remove bathroom tile should be completed by the end of the first week of October. There have been complaints from some professors and students attending lectures in the building. Hank Harrison will do all that he can to accommodate the classroom schedule. At this time he is trying to complete the work before exams begin. Hank can be reached via cell phone at 670-2778 should any work need to be interrupted due to noise or fumes. It should be remembered however that all of this work must be done before this project can be completed, so disruption of the schedule is only postponing the inevitable.
