We have begun the project to upgrade the cooling and battery systems in the communications area in the lower level of Menard. This will involve drilling holes in the concrete slab systems at the southeast corner of the building. We will begin on Wednesday morning (today) and will limit our drilling to the hours prior to 8 a.m. We may use the periods between classes to drill a small pilot hole or two, but this will be on a limited basis.
We expect that the entire project will be completed in a matter of weeks, not months, and appreciate your patience.
Thank you.
