[Che-student-staff-list] Entire Forney addition to be closed during fall break - reminder and change

[Farmus, Cristina D]

Good afternoon,

This is to inform you that the Forney Hall Addition will be completely closed during the fall break, from Saturday, October 10 to Tuesday, October 13 to comply with Fire and Safety rules. This is a change from the original announcement in which only the areas directly under the crane action area were to be closed..

The loading dock area will be closed; Jason will relocate to the Unit Ops Lab in FRNY G014, all new packages can be picked up from there on Monday and Tuesday.

The ramp on the Physics side will be closed, plan accordingly for cylinders.

The original part of the building will remain operational. The doors towards the ME building and Schleman will be open the entire period during the day; you can enter the building with the card reader after 11.00 pm.

I know this will be an inconvenience for many of you, but the overall impact on the School is beneficial. I appreciate your understanding.

Cristina

Subject: Forney addition to be evacuated during fall break for construction work
Importance: High

As you are aware, an entire wing of our building is under renovation. An important part of the project involves installing an air handling unit. A crane will have to lift this large item and the structural steel supporting it on the Forney roof. While the crane operates, all the areas directly under the crane operating area have to be evacuated, as a safety precaution. There will be no interruption of electricity or other utilities, unless something goes wrong.

This involves a good part of the addition:

*       Third floor: 3124, 3126, the hallway outside these labs, 3140, 3149, 3190, 3192, addition restrooms

*       Second floor: 2107, 2120 through 2128, 2131, 2135, 2137, 2142, 2144, 2145, 2146, 2148,2190, 2191, 2193, 2194, 2196, hallways where the lockers are and the restrooms in the addition

*       First floor: 1120 through 1128, 1137, 1142, 1144, 1146, 1148, 1190, 1191, 1192,A, 1193, 1194, 1196, the hallway where the lockers are, restrooms in addition

*       Ground floor: G111, G118 suite, G124, G125, G140, atrium & restrooms in addition

*       Basement: the entire basement in the addition, especially because two stairwells are affected

*       The stairwell from the Physics side - all floors

As of today, part of this work is scheduled for the following dates:

*       Fall break - from Saturday, October 10, through Tuesday, October 13, 2015

*       Winter break 2015-16 - days will be communicated in advance

*       Spring break 2016 - days will be communicated in advance

If you have an office or lab in the areas mentioned above you will not be able to access your space during the times mentioned above. The other people with labs or offices in the addition will be indirectly affected as they will have to use different routes to get to their space. We are encouraging all people affected directly or indirectly to avoid being in the addition at these times. Please plan accordingly.

I will work with the affected staff to create temporary work space in other areas of the building, such as the computer labs. Grad students can to the same. If this evacuation creates any difficulties with research experiments let me know as soon as possible.

I appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation while we work on improving Forney Hall.
