Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] major Omni construction planned for next wk (Mon 12/5 - Fri 12/9)

Hi all, As announced at the previous delegates meeting, next week we are planning to run plumbing lines from CCL from the Phat Beets room (and unclog the plumbing in the PB room). The planned schedule of work is Monday 12/5 through Friday 12/9, provided nothing unexpected comes up. This will necessitate digging a trench through the concrete from the PB room, across the hallway, into CCL's BSL2 lab. The trench will also produce large chunks of concrete in the hallway that may not be removed for a couple of days, as well as dust and loud noise in the hallway during the first workday while the trench is being made. ** This in turn means the 48th st hallway will for all intents and purposes be unusable during the week of construction ** In addition, during this period, we are asking that the 48th st curbside parking (adjacent to the 48th st doors) be dedicated to contractors involved in the construction, as heavy chunks of concrete, pipes etc must ferried back and forth. Therefore we ask that any omnier parking there be onsite and OK with moving their car (or the job may get more expensive.) Approximately half of Phat Beets' room will have to be cleared out and the rest of the room tarped out. As I mentioned in a separate email, some of PB's property will be temporarily stowed in the basement while this work progresses, while their computers and so on will be temporarily relocated to the Omni office for them to work in, which will have a new lock on the door for that week. The day currently planned to move Phat Beets' gear is this Sunday 12/4, precise time TBD. Please, anyone who is available to assist in this move, this will be an all-hands sort of thing and would be much appreciated (contact me for more info.) As with the recent improvements undertaken and funded by CCL, these improvements will add substantially to the usability of the CCL/Sudo area and have been long-planned. In my opinion, Omni should be stoked that CCL is contributing so substantially toward improving the building, albiet at the cost of a weeks' inconvenience.
