Construction Impact

I come back from a nice lunch and find this email from Pat Canavan to the staff:

Dear staff,


I wanted to give you advance notice that it will become noticeably noisier here beginning next week as the workers begin constructing the elevator shaft. You will soon know why relocation was necessary for a few of you. The work will be practically at our office doorsteps as they build the shaft vertically through our building.

It will be unpleasant at times, but relatively short term as the workers need to have this phase of the project completed by August 8, the day the elevator is scheduled to arrive on site.

So buckle your seat belts because we may experience mild to moderate turbulence in the next few weeks.

Pat

Pat's thinking particularly about the west wing side of the Delancey building where he is on the second floor and Bruce McDowell is on the third floor. Liz Mosebrook has already moved to the fourth floor to get out of the way. On Sunday you will see a temporary handicap ramp on the 17th Street side of the front entry. The alleyway will be broken up to prepare for the extension of the middle building ground floor. The ramp had to be on the 17th side rather than the preferable 18th street side because of code restrictions.
